New Summer Uniform
The academy will shortly be issuing complimentary uniform to all students in Years 7 to 10. The summer uniform will ensure that our students continue to look smart throughout the summer period, while enabling them to dress more suitably for the warmer weather.
As with the existing uniform it will have the academy logo on the front and our distinctive fuchsia pink stripes on the arms.
Students will be expected to wear their summer uniform immediately upon their return from the May Half Term, effective from Monday 7 June 2010. From this date, The Bushey Academy' summer uniform will be as follows:
- a black polo shirt - (new - 2 to be issued to each student)
- a black blazer (existing) which may be removed in warm weather
- black trousers (or optional appropriate length black skirt for girls)
- appropriate black school shoes. Trainers, plimsolls, lightweight fabric shoes or shoes with a heel higher than 1" are not acceptable
- ankle socks (boys or girls), or black or skin coloured tights (for girls)
Students in Years 7 to 10 will not be required to wear a white school shirt or jumper from Monday 7 June 2010, providing they have the appropriate summer unform as highlighted above.
Students in Year 11 will be expected to wear a white shirt and a school blazer while attending the academy throughout the exam period.

- The Principal is the ultimate judge on acceptability on any of these matters, and delegates this to the Heads of House on a day-to-day basis.

- Parents are asked to ensure that all items are marked with the student's name.
- The academy reserves the right to issue further guidance and clarification about the uniform if it proves necessary to do so.
