Students are ambassadors of Plympton Academy and are expected to dress and behave in a way that reflects the standards that we seek to achieve. Correct uniform must be worn to and from Plympton Academy as well as on the Academy site. Extremes of fashion are unacceptable and item may be confiscated.

The uniform should be smart and with all items clearly marked. If a student is unable to wear an item of the Academy uniform for any reason, the Academy must be notified in writing by a parent or guardian.
