Students at Astrea Academy Dearne are expected to achieve standards of excellence in all areas of academy life including appearance.
A well-worn uniform supports excellent behaviour, emphasises equality amongst young people and reflects the pride that our scholars have in being part of the academy community. Correct uniform must be worn at all times.
Our uniform supplier is Vortex. You can access the Vortex website by clicking on the link below:
On this page we have provided clear examples of what uniform is required, what will be provided by school, and what non-academy items are acceptable.
Please note that the Principal will make all final decisions on uniform, which items are deemed acceptable and in line with the expectations we have of scholars.
Accessories and other non-uniform
Scholars are permitted to wear a pair of small stud earrings on the lower lobe. No other jewellery of any type is allowed. A wristwatch may be worn but this is not to be a smartwatch of any kind, all other items are not
permitted. Below is a list to inform parents of additional uniform expectations, this list is not exhaustive, and
decisions about what is acceptable lie with the Principal.
- Hair should be of natural colour with no patterns, lines, or extensions.
- Hair bobbles should be black.
- Make up should not be visible.
- Eyelash extension/fake eyelashes are not permitted.
- False or painted nails are not permitted.
- No headwear unless for religious reasons.

Scholars not complying with uniform expectations will be based in the Reset Base until the uniform breach is
rectified.
