Our Academy
Fairfax Academy Uniform
At Fairfax Academy we believe in the importance of taking pride in our appearance and in representing ourselves and the Academy in a positive manner at all times; including on the way to and from school.
We believe that wearing the correct uniform sets the standards for learning, conveys the positive image that the Academy warrants in the local community and also ensures that staff are able to focus their attention on students’ learning. In the same way many employers expect their staff to wear a uniform, we expect our students to wear the Fairfax Academy uniform correctly each and every day.
