There are many sound, practical reasons for having a compulsory Academy uniform. Perhaps the most obvious reason is that it removes the burden of having to decide what to wear each day. The uniform, however, has a great deal to do with the Academy's ethos. Students will be encouraged to take pride in themselves and their appearance at all times. Parents are asked to give their vital support in maintaining the very high standards by adhering to the lists set out below and using the Academy approved suppliers - the John Cheatle Group.
Items can be purchased from the Academy's on site shop or via the John Cheatle website: www.schoolwear-centre.co.uk. Parents can purchase items online by entering the following details:
Log on ID: TKA
Password: Middlesbrough
Note: Items marked * must be purchased from the approved supplier.
All students will need a pair of plain, all black outdoor training shoes and shin pads for activities on various all-weather surfaces.
