Uniform - guidelines for parents
Why does uniform matter?
Students represent themselves, their families and Hewett Academy every time they step outside their door in their school uniform. At all times they are in school uniform or representing Hewett Academy, we expect them to conduct themselves as they would in school, as an ambassador for our school and an example for others.
Our uniform is something our student council has taken the time to discuss and agree upon. As such it is gender-neutral and accessible to all. If you have any concerns about affording a uniform for your child then please do let us know and we will support you.
Our uniform shows our pride in our community, our belonging and our inclusion and respect for each other. At Hewett Academy, we take this very seriously and students will receive consequences for not wearing their uniform correctly.

We are a community that champions equality, diversity and inclusion. We recognise that your child may have needs that require some modification to our uniform and equipment list.
