Important information about ordering uniform during COVID-19
In this uncertain time, we are working with our uniform supplier, Emblamatic, to make it is easy and safe to order the new school uniform for September 2020.
We are encouraging as many people as possible to order school uniform online with free home delivery and returns by 1st of July. You can purchase online at www.emblamatic.co.uk or by emailing your order to orders@emblematic.co.uk.
Our uniform supplier is also offering paper tape measures as well as measuring videos on their website - email tapes@emblematic.co.uk to request a tape measure.
Why have a uniform?
Here at Ashington Academy we are proud of our uniform. We believe that proper school uniform is important because it:
- instils pride in the students and the wider community
- encourages identity with, and support for, our school ethos
- protects children from social pressures to dress in a particular way
- nurtures cohesion and promotes good relations between different groups of students
- supports effective teaching and learning.
