Uniform
We believe good standards of dress and personal presentation promote a positive attitude to work and behaviour whilst identifying students to the local community and future employers as proud members of a high-quality educational establishment. The cooperation of all parents and carers is requested to ensure that students are in correct uniform at all times.
Please note that Thetford Academy makes the final decision as to what is acceptable in all aspects of a student’s appearance.
If students are not able to participate in PE as a performer, they will still need to bring their PE kit and get changed. If they fail to bring their PE kit, they will have to borrow one from the PE Department.
