School Uniform
School uniforms have been welcomed by parents as providing a smart and standard form of clothing. This also helps foster a spirit of belonging and helps to build a sense of community in school. We expect that our school uniform is worn correctly. If you are ever in doubt, a telephone call to the office should solve any queries.
Our preferred uniform partner is MyClothing, who sell a range of items online, with and without the school logo. Please go to www.myclothing.com. Purchases made in this way will earn a donation of 5% of sales to school funds.
Children will only need a book bag for class and a PE bag, both of which are available from MyClothing. We sell Martham Academy elasticated ties for KS2 (Years 3-6) from the office for £4.40 each.
We have a range of pre-loved school uniform items available in school. Please see Mrs Beales, our Family Support Worker, to see what is available.
Any lost uniform items are placed in the unit in the school reception.

Please note that our uniform is not compulsory for our Nursery children, but jeans are not allowed
