Behaviour for Learning

12 September 2010

The Academy has very expectations of behaviour from our students. You can view an online copy of the student and parent handbook on our behaviour system here.

Uniform in the Academy

20 July 2010

King Edward VI Sheldon Heath Academy is a uniform Academy. Pupils in Years 7 - 11 are expected to wear school uniform at all times and a high standard of dress is required. We look to parents to support the Academy in this matter. By sending your child to this Academy you accept the uniform regulations. Sixth form students are expected to dress appropriately for their studies. Students are also required to wear the school kit for games and physical education.

Local organisations are able to assist parents in the purchase of uniform and other items of equipment required for school. The school will endeavour to accomodate reasonable adaptations of the uniform to enable students to observe religious requirements. Any family who requires assistance acquiring school uniform should contact the respective year group student support manager at the school.
