Uniform
Our Uniform at Victory
At Victory, we feel strongly that our students should look smart and ready to achieve great things. Equally, we put a great deal of support in place for families to meet our expectations.
We run a successful second-hand uniform shop and we don’t charge for the items included – you can make a donation if you’re able to, but equally we’d love everyone to just commit to donating your unwanted items back to us. Coats, shoes and trainers are as welcome as regular uniform items.
Please contact us if you’d like to find out more about how we can help you.

Safety is of utmost importance to us, therefore we insist all students wear a suitable pair of training shoes in all PE lessons. Plimsolls, pumps or high tops, e.g. Converse are not permitted.
During relevant sporting seasons, shin pads are required for football and gum shields for rugby.
Students are permitted to attend school wearing the correct PE kit ONLY on their timetabled PE days.
Students are required to wear their PE kit even if not taking part in the lesson.

Legal duties under the Equality Act 2010
The Equality Act 2010 prohibits discrimination against an individual based on the protected
characteristics, which include sex, race, religion or belief, and gender reassignment.
To avoid discrimination, the academy will:
- Avoid listing uniform items based on sex, to give all pupils the opportunity to wear the uniform
they feel most comfortable in or that most reflects their self-identified gender - Make sure that the uniform costs the same for all pupils
- Allow all pupils to have long hair (whilst reserving the right to ask for this to be tied back)
- Allow all pupils to style their hair in the way that is appropriate for school yet makes them feel
most comfortable - Allow pupils to request changes to swimwear for religious reasons
- Allow pupils to wear headscarves and other religious or cultural symbols
- Allow for adaptations to the policy on the grounds of equality by asking pupils or their parents to
get in touch with the Vice Principal for Student Engagement, who can answer questions about the
policy and respond to any requests
