Info

Uniform and personal belongings Westminster Academy is a uniform school. As a Business and Enterprise Academy, we feel it is important that students learn to dress smartly and appropriately. They should understand that most businesses require uniform or professional dress and be proud to wear the Academy uniform. The wearing of uniform is strictly enforced, and we appeal to parents to support us in helping us create a positive image and reputation for the Academy. The uniform consists of a black fitted jacket with logo, black trousers and a jade blouse (girls) or jade shirt and tie (girls or boys). The PE kit has a jade polo shirt, with black track suit. Our uniform combines low cost with high quality and is available through an ordering service run in the school, supplied by the uniform company School Colours. Each student is responsible for his/her own belongings at the Academy. An individual locker is provided, for the safe storage of outdoor clothing and personal equipment. Lockers are also provided in changing rooms for optional, temporary use during PE lessons. Jewellery is not allowed as it is unnecessary and can be dangerous in some activities. Religious items, however, may be worn, should parents request this to the Principal. Students may bring mobile phones, provided they are switched off in lessons, left in lockers and never used to cause nuisance. The Principal reserves the right for staff to confiscate any personal belonging which is not allowed in school or is not being used sensibly by the student. In that case, parents will be asked to call to collect the item. The Academy does not accept any responsibility for students’ belongings in any circumstances, as our strong advice is that students do not bring valuable items to school. Every student should have a sturdy school bag and a pencil case containing black pens, pencils, ruler, rubber and basic geometry set. A calculator is also recommended. All items of uniform and personal possessions should be labelled. The Academy cannot accept responsibility for personal belongings, nor can we insure them. Students and users of the Academy building should therefore have personal insurance for their belongings. Please do not bring valuable items to the Academy, unless they are essential for school work.

In most sciences one generation tears down what another has built and what one has established another undoes. In mathematics alone each generations adds a new story to the old structure. Hermann Hankel WESTMINSTER ACADEMY | PROSPECTUS 2012-2013 29
