Christmas Jumper Day

Red Christmas sweater and letter board with words Christmas jumper day.

Dear Parent/Carer

As you may be aware, we will be holding Christmas Jumper Day on Wednesday 18th December to coincide with our Christmas Lunch day.  Students will have the opportunity to make a £1 or £2 donation into buckets when they arrive at the gates at Avenue 1 and Avenue 2.  This contribution is optional, as is the decision to wear a Christmas Jumper for the day or not. If students choose to wear a jumper, they will need to follow the expectations detailed below. 

  • A student choosing to wear a Christmas Jumper on Wednesday 18th December can do so as a replacement of their blazer, but must wear their shirt and tie underneath.
  • Students choosing not to wear a Christmas Jumper must wear their blazer as normal. 
  • Plain jumpers or jumpers with logos or slogans (that are not festive in nature) are not permitted and will be confiscated as normal, then kept in the student’s college office for the day.  
  •  Festive knitwear or sweatshirts are fine but it must not have a hood of any kind. 
  • Onesies or jumper dresses are not permitted

As stated above, with the exception of the blazer when wearing a Christmas jumper, uniform must be worn as normal.

Whilst we will enjoy the festivities of the day and the lead up to the Christmas holiday, we would like to reassure you that learning at Leigh Academy Bexley will continue as normal in all lessons up to 12.15pm on Friday 20th December.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us via the info@labexley.org.uk email address.

Yours faithfully

Miss A Mann | Deputy Head of Holkham College
