Uniform
Uniform Expectations
We are proud of our high uniform standards. This is achieved through partnership between our Academy and home. We expect our students to wear their uniform with dignity and the pride that comes from being a member of the Priory Lincoln learning community.
We consider that uniform is important for several reasons. It provides students with a sense of identity and pride in our Academy and it helps to instil in students a sense of belonging.
To enable you to support our Academy in maintaining uniform standards, the full uniform requirements are listed below.

All final decisions on uniform are made by the Headteacher.
We recommend that if your child cycles to the Academy they should wear a helmet and their cycle should be in good working order.
General Comments
If for any reason, eg medical or personal, a student is unable to wear full uniform, their parent/carer is asked to contact a member of the pastoral team at their earliest convenience.
We expect students to be smartly turned out not only in school but also on their journeys to and from the Academy.
Aerosols are not to be used anywhere on the Academy site, as they can cause serious medical issues.
Inevitably, this list will not cover every eventuality and the Headteacher has discretion over final uniform decisions.
