At Denton Community Primary School we believe that school uniform creates an ethos of pride and belonging. 

A high standard of uniform is expected at all times.

Please speak with your child's teacher or a member of the leadership team before making any unusual uniform decisions.

Our school colours are navy blue, grey and white. 

As a school, we believe the following are benefits from the children all wearing school uniform:

• Wearing our uniform enables our children to feel part of the community
• Families have the opportunity to purchase economical, functional and practical clothing
• Setting a standard uniform helps to eliminate peer pressure on families to provide ‘expensive and fashionable’ items for daily wear
• Promotes equality amongst all children
• Helps us identify children and keep them safe when in public areas e.g. school trips
• Maintains the high public regard for our school.

School Uniform

White or Blue shirt/blouse/polo-shirt

Blue/White checked gingham dress

Navy jumper/cardigan (no hoodies)

Plain black/charcoal trousers/skirt (no leggings) 

Plain black/charcoal shorts

Black shoes, flat soles with a fastening eg. laces, Velcro, buckle (no slip on shoes, boots or sandals)

PE Kit

White t-shirt

Black shorts/leggings

Black trainers/plimsolls

Please remember that the school does not insist families purchase clothing with a Denton badge. We find that all main supermarkets and clothing stores have unbranded school uniform available and they tend to be more cost effective

General Information

Jewellery:  The only jewellery allowed in school is plain stud earrings and a watch.  All children will need to either take out their earrings and watches off for P.E. or have tape put over the earrings.  No wrist bands please.

Hair:  All long hair needs to be tied back.   All hair should be of natural colour. Extreme haircuts, such as mohicans and shaved patterns/images, and dyed hair, are not considered appropriate for school.

Make-up:  No make-up or nail varnish is permitted to be worn in school

Non-compliance

As has been mentioned, school uniform is compulsory so we request you read the information above carefully and ensure your child has the correct items for September. If children arrive in clothing that is not correct in the first instance the class teacher will speak with parents and carers and a reminder letter will be given. If children repeatedly come to school dressed in clothing that is not correct they may be asked to wear spare school uniform and a meeting with parents and carers arranged. 

Like all schools, we follow national government guidelines regarding school uniform. Thank you for supporting us with our uniform policy.

 Thank you for your support with ensuring your children are wearing the right school uniform.
