At Hethersett Academy we would like our students to be smartly dresses at all times, it is the responsibility of all members of the Academy community, staff, students and parents/carers to work together to help ensure the policy is adhered to.
AIMS
- To encourage a sense of community and a business-like approach to daily tasks in and out of the Academy
- To ensure students are seen by themselves, staff parents/carers, visitors, and the wider community as being smartly dressed, consequently enhancing the image of the Academy for the benefit of all
- To offer an affordable, practical and safe range of Academy wear
