Thomas's Academy Uniform 

 

You will notice that we do not have ‘Boys’ or ‘Girls’ uniform categories but, instead, a uniform list with the appropriate uniform for the different age phases. This means parents and children have the choice to opt for a skirt or trousers, a jumper or a cardigan, etc. It is our aim to have smart and practical clothes for school, but it is also essential that the children feel secure in the uniform they wear every day.
 

Our Uniform

 

• Promotes a sense of pride in the school

• Engenders a sense of community and belonging towards the school

• Is practical, yet smart

• Identifies the children with the school

• Promotes equality and inclusion amongst pupils

• Is not gender specific

• Is designed with health and safety in mind

 

Where is our uniform stocked?

 

Our school uniform is available in-store and online from Sogans, 6 Greyhound Road, Hammersmith, W6 8NX. Click here for the website. Please ensure that all uniform is marked with your child’s name.

 

Nursery and Reception Uniform

 

The children in Early Years are required to wear the school’s red polo shirt and the school’s blue sweatshirt. Both of these items need to be purchased from Sogans.

 

Early Years children will be able to wear their own suitable footwear, jogging bottoms, leggings etc. and their own weather-appropriate coats.
