The Venerable Bede Church of England Academy has a uniform policy, which has the full support of the Academy Council. Details of the uniform are shown below.
We believe that uniform plays an important role in the school ethos. Pupils need to be suitably dressed for the working day. A smart appearance helps to maintain high esteem in the community. Pupils must wear a blazer at all times and will need a sensible coat for inclement weather.
