Dress Code

Rudheath Senior Academy students are expected to wear our uniform correctly and in full.

We believe uniform gives a sense of identity and belonging to our students and reflect the high standards we expect of our school community. Our uniform is compulsory for all.

School Uniform List

School uniform is available from our uniform supplier – Uniformity – based in Chester. Uniformity can arrange for delivery directly to school. Parents/Carers will need to provide school trousers/skirt, shoes, shirt/blouse, tie, and blazer as detailed in the dress code below.

Mobile Phones

After careful research and reflection, our school has adopted a full phone detox model in response to growing concerns around phone use during the school day. Along with many other schools making similar changes, we believe this is a vital step to improve learning outcomes, student behaviour, and social relationships.

Students will still be allowed to bring phones to school for use on their journey to and from school. However, during the school day, all phones must be placed in a lockable pouch, which will be supplied by the school and must be brought in daily as part of standard school equipment. The pouch stays with the student but must remain locked throughout the day.

Inappropriate phone use, especially through social media, is increasingly affecting student wellbeing and the wider school environment. It is essential that students feel safe, supported, and focused on their learning throughout the day.

We have been encouraged by the positive impact seen in other schools and believe this change will help create a calmer, more focused learning environment.

If you need to urgently contact your child, please contact the school reception and a message will be communicated via their class teacher and/or Head of Year.
