Uniform

Northern Education Trust believes that students learn most effectively and achieve their best outcomes when they are comfortable, able to be themselves, and are dressed in such a way that sets an appropriate tone for education.

A consistent academy uniform policy is vital to promote the ethos of the academy and provide a sense of belonging and identity for all students, regardless of their protected characteristics or socio-economic circumstances.

Our uniform policy lays out the measures taken to ensure a consistent, fair and inclusive uniform policy; to implement a uniform that reflects the needs of all students; and a uniform that is affordable and the best value for money for the academy and students’ parents/carers.

Students must wear full academy uniform at all times when they are within the academy or on an academy visit, unless otherwise stated.

A copy of our academy uniform policy and uniform checklist including PE kit requirements can be found in the links below.

Here you will find our uniform information including which items are required and where to purchase them.

You can buy all items of Hilton Primary uniform from Top Class Uniforms at Blakelaw Shopping Centre, 4 Moulton Place, Blakelaw, NE5 3RL (telephone 0191 271 0000).

Please note all parents/carers are responsible for buying their children’s uniform including their PE kit which consists of a plain white t-shirt or polo and plain black shorts.

Please note the Northern Education Trust does not permit the wearing of jewellery (except a watch) and all children must wear plain black school shoes.

Mobile phones/ smartwatches and other electronic technology must be switched off at the academy gate, kept out of view and remain switched off until students exit the academy gate at the end of the day. If a child is seen with any of the items above in the academy, they will be confiscated, placed in the safe, and will only be returned to a parent/carer.
