As the new school year begins, pupils at Cockburn Ingram Road Academy are stepping into their classrooms with a renewed sense of pride, thanks to the launch of a brand-new school uniform.
The change marks the school’s exciting new chapter as part of the Cockburn Multi-Academy Trust.
The smart new look has been warmly welcomed by pupils, staff, and families alike. Children have been keen to show off their crisp uniforms, which they say make them feel more unified and proud to belong to Ingram Road.
Adding to the sense of ownership and excitement, the new school logo – which now features proudly on jumpers, signage and the school website – was designed by one of the pupils. The winning design was chosen following a school-wide competition, making it not only a symbol of the school’s identity but also a celebration of the creativity within the school community.
Ted Theaker, School Improvement Partner for the Primary Schools in Cockburn MAT, says:
“The uniform reflects a fresh start for Ingram Road, symbolising ambition, togetherness, and the high standards the school is setting for the year ahead.”
Pupils summed up the general feeling by saying,
“It gives a new feel to coming to school”, “It brings us all together” and “I feel really proud to be part of Cockburn”.
As part of Cockburn MAT, Ingram Road Academy now shares in a wider family of schools committed to excellence. The new uniform is just one of many steps designed to raise aspirations and strengthen community spirit.
With children walking through the gates this September feeling confident and united, the future at Ingram Road looks brighter than ever.
The school will host an Open Morning on Saturday 18 October, 10am–12pm, inviting families to explore the school and see the hard work and opportunities on offer.

The new uniform is fine . But what about good teachers . Parents taking responsibility for their kids behaviour . Parents need to do their bit for their children , including help with homework , listening to them read and the list goes on .
It’s just not down to the teachers . The frame work needs to be there
