Uniform

             The Academy uniform

At Corby Business Academy we believe a smart uniform and appearance is very important as a reflection of the high standards we have as a Business Academy and students must wear their uniform correctly at all times.

Uniform will be checked daily by the tutor and if the correct uniform is not adhered to, parents and carers will be contacted to request that replacements are arranged in a timely manner.

Please ensure that your child's white shirt has a button that does up at the neck. This will ensure that the tie is correctly positioned.

At Corby Business Academy we are very fortunate to have two uniform suppliers, Chroma and Karlsports. More information regarding ordering uniform and pricing can be found below.

Please see below our uniform policy. There is also a Local Group on Facebook you can join by Clicking here.
