Uniform refresh
Our new school uniform was introduced in September 2025 for all new Year 7 students and has now become the standard uniform across the school. Designed in collaboration with students, staff, parents and Governors, the new uniform reflects our school identity while remaining practical, smart and cost-effective for families.
The previous uniform is no longer available to purchase, and all new uniform orders will be supplied with the current design.
All Year 7 and Year 8 students are expected to wear the new-style uniform. We recognise that some students in Years 9, 10 and 11 may still be wearing items from the previous uniform as part of the transition. However, as these items are replaced due to growth or wear and tear, they should be replaced with the current school uniform.
We appreciate the support of parents and carers in ensuring students are correctly dressed for school and take pride in representing Padgate Academy through our smart and consistent uniform.

Students are strongly advised to purchase and wear a gum shield when participating in activities such as hockey and rugby. When PE kit is brought into school, it must be carried in a school bag.
