At Gawthorpe Community Academy, we encourage a smart appearance for all our pupils in with the aim of fostering pride in our children. Wearing a uniform enables pupils to be ready for learning and provides a sense of belonging for all.
If parents have any difficulty in purchasing the uniform, please do not hesitate to contact the academy office and we will do our best to support parents/carers.
Our uniform provider is ‘The Box’, which is located in Ossett Town centre. School Uniform can also be purchased from certain supermarkets.
We ask that all pupils’ uniform is clearly labelled to avoid lost items.
Good quality pre-loved uniform is available from the following uniform exchange initiatives:
Children are asked to wear the following uniform:
-Navy blue jumper or cardigan

On health and safety grounds, we do not allow pupils to wear jewellery in school except for
earring studs in pierced ears, small objects of religious significance and a watch (smart
watches are not permitted).
