Achievement Ties – Nominations are now open

A quick reminder that applications are now open. The deadline for nominations will be Friday 9 May 2025. 

School Uniform

Just a reminder that the expectation is that all of our young people wear our uniform to school. This is as much about safety as anything else as allows us, at a glance, to know they are Knox Academy pupils by what they are wearing. Hooded tops are banned at the school for safety reasons as hoods can be worn up and therefore mean we cannot see who the individual is – compromising safety. We appreciate that some young people have alternative uniforms for medical or sensory reasons and this has been agreed with House Teams. Thank you to parents/carers with your support with this.

S4 and S5 Blazer Fittings

Border Embroidery Uniforms will be attending Knox Academy for a S4 and S5 Blazer/Uniform Sales Event. This will be held in Knox library on Wednesday 30^th April from 230-730pm. At this event pupils will be able to try on and order a blazer- a 15% discount will be offered on any items ordered at the event. We hope to see you there. Please contact Alison Swallow, Knox Welfare Assistant if you have any questions.
