Introducing our new Salford City Academy recycled uniform scheme

We know how expensive school uniform can be and how quick students grow! With this in mind and to continue to be able to support the SCA Community, we welcome parents and carers to bring in any uniform that their children have grown out of so that we can offer it to other families to reuse. 

Q: Where do I drop off items?

A: Uniform can be dropped in at reception at any time.  On the lead up to the two key times of the year where we will hold a recycled uniform event, we will send out reminders and students can bring in any items that they want to be recycled to their tutor room where boxes will be available for the collection of these items. 

Q: When can SCA families come to the recycling events? 

A: The recycled uniform stalls will be held twice yearly on site at the Academy. 

•  February half term 
•  Start of the summer holidays

PE Kit 

New PE Kit

We’re thrilled to unveil our brand-new PE kit for the upcoming school year! After switching to Whittakers Schoolwear as our uniform provider, we've taken the opportunity to refresh our PE kit—bringing you something that's not only durable and stylish but also saves you 30% compared to our current range. We want every student to feel confident and comfortable while participating in PE.

What's Changing?

We are introducing the Joma-branded t-shirt and zip top with the academy logo! These items will be available to purchase online and in-store at Whittakers in Swinton after Easter. Don't forget, students are still required to wear navy joggers, leggings, shorts, or skorts.

Transition Period

We understand that transitioning to a new kit takes time, so we’re allowing students to continue wearing the current sky-blue kit throughout the academic year 2025-2026. However, please note that the sky-blue kit will no longer be available to purchase after April 2025.
