It is anticipated that the temperature will drop substantially overnight. Therefore, students must attend the Academy in normal Business Dress on Wednesday 20th July and for the remainder of this week, but are permitted to leave their blazer at home (this also applies to Sixth Form students). We encourage students to continue to bring a bottle of water to remain hydrated, and to wear sunscreen.

CCF Cadets should attend the Academy in their CCF Uniform on Wednesday as normal, but may remove their overshirt. 

Owing to the continued warm weather, students may wear their Academy Sports Kit instead of Business Dress on Tuesday also. This must be the correct branded items only; no alternative sportswear may be worn. We also strongly recommend that all students carry a water bottle to stay hydrated, and wear sunscreen. We will review this daily, and let you know if the adapted dress code will continue for subsequent days.
