Uniform can be expensive, so to ensure this is affordable we require only two branded pieces of uniform which are:

• Academy jumper or cardigan with the academy logo.
• PE polo shirt for PE days   

These items can be purchased from our Online Uniform Shop by clicking this link alongside other branded products which are optional.  

All other items should follow the guidelines below, but they can be purchased from other shops like supermarkets/shops (Adsa, Tesco, Matalan) for very reasonable costs.

Our Uniform Expectations

At Danesholme Academies we expect all pupils to wear the full uniform. The wearing of uniform gives pupils a sense of ‘belonging’, helps foster a pride in the academy and stops pupils coming to school in unsuitable clothes.

The required uniform for all years will comprise:

• Polo shirt with logo or plain white polo shirt 
• Grey trousers or skirt or pinafore dress (jeans and cords are not allowed)
• Academy brand jumper or cardigan
• Grey socks with trousers, grey or white socks or grey tights with skirts
• Purple gingham dresses in the summer are suitable

PE Kit:

• Black shorts 
• Purple sports polo shirt with school logo
• School jumper or cardigan as warm layer
• Suitable trainers or other PE footwear
• Plain black tracksuit as sometimes PE takes place outside (no branded sports logos)

IMPORTANT - Other Sportswear can be worn on non-uniform days, not PE days.

 

Parents are asked to provide:

• Sensible black shoes 
• Suitable footwear for PE
• A warm coat for travelling to and from school and wearing at playtimes and lunchtimes

 

Outdoor Play

Our children play outside in all weather conditions.  It is important that they have correct outer clothing for the weather.  We ask that all children keep a pair of wellington boots at the academy so they can access the whole outdoor area in wet weather conditions.

 

Other basic requirements are:

• Shoes or ankle boots must be black and flat soled.  Knee high or Ugg style boots are not permitted.
• Wellington boots for wet play.
• Trainers that are black in colour with a black sole without an evident logo are allowed.  
• No make-up, nail varnish, dyed hair or hair extensions.
• Excessive hair styles are strongly discouraged and decisions about the suitability of an individual style are the responsibility of the Principal, whose decision will be final.  ‘Cuts’ of any shape or design are not allowed, nor are multiple hair colours. 
• Any pupils with long hair must have it tied back away from their face using discreet hair accessories in keeping with the uniform colours and style.
• Jewellery is not allowed, except for one pair of plain ear studs worn in the earlobe. 
• Smart watches with: cameras, capacity to play games, location information, communication or connectivity to the internet are not allowed.

Uniform donations are greatly accepted. Please hand these into the reception office, thank you.
