Uniform & Equipment

As a Northern Education Trust Academy The Blyth Academy has high expectations, this includes student appearance. By having high expectations of student appearance we remove the need to constantly discuss things that do not impact on student progress and achievement. The uniform policy is simple, wear the uniform and wear it correctly.
