Uniform

All pupils are expected to wear the Danesfield School Uniform as listed below.

UNIFORM

  • Navy blue skirt/navy pinafore dress 
  • Grey shorts or trousers
  • White polo shirt - this can be plain or with the school logo
  • School sweatshirt/cardigan or Danesfield hoodie only (no other plain or branded items please)
  • Black shoes or smart black trainers (any logos should be in black) - no boots please
  • Plain socks (grey/navy/black) 

In Summer, children have the option to wear grey tailored shorts or a blue gingham/striped dress

Hair: 

  • ⁠Neat and Safe: Hair should be kept tidy and styled in a way that remains out of the eyes. Long hair (shoulder-length or longer) must be tied back for health and safety reasons, particularly during PE and practical lessons.
  • Simple Accessories: Hair ties, bands, and clips should be functional and preferably in school colors. Large, elaborate accessories (like oversized bows or "JoJo" bows) are not to be worn. 
  • Natural and Practical: Drastic styles—such as vibrant "unnatural" dye colors, shaved patterns or "tramlines," and spiked hair with excessive product—are not permitted to maintain a focus on learning.

 

Jewellery: 

To ensure the physical safety of all students and to prevent the loss of valuable items, the school policy on jewellery is as follows:

  • Permitted Items: Students may wear one pair of small, plain stud earrings (worn in the lower earlobe) and a functional analogue or digital wristwatch.  For safety reasons, earrings must be removed or covered with surgical tape by the student during PE lessons and sports activities.

  • Prohibited Items: For safety and security, necklaces, bracelets, rings, and "smart" watches with communication, game or camera capabilities are not permitted. Fashion jewellery, including loom bands or friendship bracelets, should be kept for out-of-school wear.

  • Religious & Medical Exceptions: Small items of religious significance or medical alert jewellery are permitted. Parents are asked to notify the school office in writing if their child needs to wear such an item so that appropriate safety measures can be discussed.

  • Navy shorts
  • School PE T-shirt (navy) 
  • Plain socks (white/grey/navy/black)
  • Optional school PE hoodie
  • Navy blue tracksuit bottoms (plain)
  • Plimsolls or trainers (no boots please)
  • KS2 children who play hockey will require a gum shield - this is essential for these sports

All sports kit should be kept in school during the week in a separate bag.  This should be placed in your child’s locker (Years 2-6) or hung on their peg (Reception and Year 1).
