Our school uniform helps to foster a strong sense of belonging, enabling pupils to feel part of a shared community. Wearing the school badge encourages pride and supports children in presenting themselves smartly, reflecting the school’s values.

Bamford Academy uniform can be purchased from our approved supplier, Ziggys Schoolwear in Rochdale town centre, or ordered online by clicking the link below:

During year 4, pupils will have the opportunity to participate in swimming lessons and will therefore require a swimsuit or swimming trunks, towel and swimming hat.

• Pupils are required to keep their PE kit in a pump bag which will be kept on their peg in the academy. Please do not allow your child to bring big sports bags into school as we do not have the space to accommodate them.

• PE kit should be in school all week from Monday to Friday and be taken home to be washed at the weekend.

• Reception children will also need a PVC painting/craft overall with long sleeves. They are available from the Early Learning Centre or similar shops or online.

• Outdoor education is very important, therefore we would like your child to have a pair of Wellington boots and a waterproof jacket in school.

Pre-loved Uniform

We have pre-loved uniform available in the academy. Please ask staff in the main office for assistance. Our PTA also has a range of good quality, pre-loved uniform available for sale by a pop-up stall once a month.

 

Jewellery

Pupils are not allowed to wear articles of jewellery such as rings, necklaces, or large/drop earrings. If a child has pierced ears, only plain studs are permitted, as many other types of earrings can result in injury to the child or others during PE or playtimes. Although plain studs are permitted, they must be removed for PE/games lessons. Wristwatches may be worn, but as with all personal possessions and clothing, responsibility for the loss or damage cannot be accepted by the academy.

 

Hair

Hair longer than shoulder length, should be tied back. Hair accessories should be minimal and blue in colour. No hair colouring, gel, wax, etc., or tramlines/shapes cut into the hair.
