The Academy prides itself on the positive behaviour and attitude to learning of all pupils. The correct wearing of the Academy uniform is central to this. By wearing our uniform, pupils visibly belong to the Epworth Primary learning family. The uniform has been chosen to be ;
- practical for the demands of a busy school day
- affordable
- suitable for all pupils regardless of gender.
By adhering to the dress code, pupils arrive at the Academy ready to work, and staff are able to concentrate on the core business of teaching and learning.

Where to purchase
Academy uniform can be purchased from any suitable outlet including supermarkets, except jumpers/cardigans with the academy logo. These may be obtained via the online uniform shop, Trutextdirect.
Where children grow out of items of uniform we would encourage parents to donate them to the academy so that they can be sold on for a small cost to help make it more affordable. Second hand uniform is available to purchase through the PTFA. To enquire about this, the academy office should be contacted.
