Sixth Form Uniform Policy

At the Skegness Academy, we advocate that high standards and a positive work ethic are central to a successful future. Our Academy uniform creates a sense of belonging to the local community, provides students with a sense of identity, instils pride in our Academy and sets the tone for students’ learning and outcomes.

Students are expected to wear the Academy uniform when travelling to and from the Academy, at all Academy functions and on educational visits unless otherwise informed.

All uniform can be purchased from our suppliers – Nationwide School Uniforms. Click here for their website:
