Castle Manor Uniform from September 2026
At Castle Manor Academy we believe that it is important that students are dressed professionally in full school uniform. As such we have very clear expectations regarding uniforms.
Below are details of our expectations for looking professional daily.
Our uniform supplier is Anglia Sports and School Wear and can be accessed through their website Castle Manor Academy
Uniform purchased from our previous supplier Kiiwii clothing may also be worn.
Correct uniform is defined as:
Uniform list
- Black blazer with the Academy badge*
- Plain white shirt – short or long sleeved
- Plain black tailored skirt (knee length) or Plain black tailored trousers (no jeans or leggings) or black tailored shorts
- Plain black V neck knitted jumper
- Academy House Tie – first tie provided by the school
- Black tights or black socks
- Waterproof coat/jacket
PE Kit
The Academy PE kit is designed to ensure all students are dressed appropriately to take part in physical activity and students have some choice in what they wear, often dependant on the weather.
Essential
- Castle Manor PE polo top*
- Castle Manor PE quarter zip top*
- Navy blue outdoor rugby/football socks
- Trainers
- Navy knee length sports shorts (Not cycling shorts) or Navy tracksuit bottoms or joggers- non branded or Black sports quality leggings- non branded
Optional
- White socks [indoor]
- Any old clothes for Rugby
- Football boots
- Shin pads and gum shield (when appropriate)
Expectations
- All jewellery must be removed prior to the lesson. If a student cannot remove a piercing, then they must cover it with a plaster or tape.
- Failure to bring in the correct PE kit will result in a kit mark for missing equipment/uniform unless a written note is provided and signed by the parent/carer.
- Students who are ill/injured will not be required to take part in the lesson but must still bring in their PE kit. There is no exception to this rule unless a student is physically unable to get changed.
- Any student who does not have the correct kit will be required to wear a replacement PE kit supplied by the PE department. Failure to do so may end in removal from the lesson.
Adjustments for very hot weather
- No blazers will be required from after May half term until the end of the summer term.
- In circumstances of extreme heat, the school will send out information regarding changes to uniform which may include the removal of ties or the introduction of wearing PE kit for school.
It is essential that all students come to school fully equipped and prepared for learning. This means that each student, every day, needs bring the following equipment:
Essential
- School Bag
- Student Organiser
- A minimum of 2 pens (blue or black)
- Another coloured pen for fixing
- Pencil
- Highlighters
- Ruler
- Rubber
- Glue Stick
- Pencil Case
- Scientific Calculator

- Reading Book (Years 7-9)
Recommended
- Pencil Sharpener
- Maths kit (protractor, compass)
- Reading Book (Years 10-11)
- Coloured Pens
- Colouring Pencils
These items are checked every day in tutor time. If a student is missing an item or an item is not working, they are given an Amber Warning in their Student Organiser. They will need to report to break time detention. If they fail to attend, they are placed in a 20-minute detention on the same day.
