Uniform & Equipment
Students at Bobby Moore Academy, across both our primary and secondary phases, take pride in their education and this begins each and every day by arriving to school in full uniform and prepared with all equipment.
We believe in high expectations in everything we do and that students wearing the correct school uniform is essential and results in pride in their appearance and their school, and has a positive impact on their attitude to learning.
Where to purchase
Uniform can be purchased from the schools’ provider Khalsa Schoolwear.
Khalsa stock all of the uniform items required for all phases at the Academy. The Academy uniform can also be purchased online from Khalsa.
Second hand uniform is available from the Academy directly. We cannot guarantee all items will be available in every size but we will work with families to ensure we can share what we can.
