Uniform

We do require all children to wear the Firbeck Academy School uniform as we find it helps to create a positive school identity, a sense of belonging and pride, and finally, a calm and focused learning environment.

Sweatshirts, cardigans and polo shirts with the school logo are available from Morley’s School Outfitters (details below). However, plain versions are perfectly acceptable and are available from most supermarkets such as Asda, Tesco, Morrisons and Sainsbury's.

Our supplier for school logo items is Morley’s School Outfitters.

Make-up, nail varnish and false nails are not permitted. Jewellery is limited to a watch and one stud ear-ring per ear.

Please make sure that your child’s belongings are labelled with their name as this helps us to locate the owner of any lost property.

Children are not allowed to wear jewellery in school, with the exception of small stud earrings and a plain watch. If stud earrings are worn, the teacher may ask your child to remove them or cover them with a little piece of masking tape.

Water Bottles

From 4th March 2024 all children will be provided with a 'Firbeck' water bottle, meaning water bottles will no longer need to be brought in from home.

All bottles will be named and will remain in school at all times. To ensure they are kept clean they will go through a regular dishwasher cycle and they will also be kept topped up with fresh water at all times.

We hope you will support us in promoting and encouraging the children to use their new school water bottle and to drink plenty of water while they are in school, as there are so many health benefits to choosing water over other sugary or artificially sweetened drinks.

Children will only be allowed to drink water throughout the day unless they have a medical condition that requires a different drink. If this is the case please speak with the school office in the first instance.
