Uniform

Uphill Village Academy has a school uniform as we believe it helps to set the right learning attitudes in school and promotes a sense of belonging and identity; it is a leveller of individuals and is good value for money.

Please ensure your child always wears the correct uniform.

Our school colour is royal blue and details of the full school uniform are provided below. It is essential that all clothes and belongings are clearly labelled with your child’s name; this includes bags, PE kits, hats and shoes.

Most uniform items are widely available from shops and supermarkets, however, we do ask children to wear a jumper or cardigan with the school logo.  Our branded school uniform items are available from NK Sports, Unit 7, Station Road, Worle. Telephone 01934 511005 or email enquiries@nksports.co.uk Parents can visit the store to try on and purchase items, to help ensure the correct size. Alternatively, you can order online and have the uniform delivered to your home (with a delivery charge) or to the store (collect for free).
