Uniform
All pupils are expected to wear their school uniform to show they are part of our Denholme community.
Our uniform:
- Black or grey trousers, skirts or pinafore dresses (no jogging bottoms, track suits, leggings or jeans).
- White, black or grey tights or socks.
- White polo shirt (with school motif wherever possible and no designer labels).
- Red sweatshirt or cardigan (with school motif wherever possible).
- A pair of black sturdy trainers or shoes without any obvious markings. (No fashion shoes/high heels).
- In the summer term a gingham dress may be worn (blue and white or red and white).
- Reception – Y5 pupils require a school book bag which can be purchased from the school office for £8.50. Year 6 children only are allowed to bring a rucksack, if they wish.
Our PE kit:
- Black tracksuit bottoms or shorts (no logos)
- Black jumper/hoody (no logos)
- Red t-shirt
- Sturdy black trainers (no logos)
On PE days, your child should come to school in their PE kit. This minimises time spent getting changed, and maximises learning time.

Please note that for safety reasons we ask all children with long hair to tie their hair back during P.E. and games lessons and when using some specialist equipment in science, art, food technology etc. Hair should be neat and tidy, hair gel should not be used and any hair accessories such as clips, slides, beads etc should be kept to a minimum.
Jewellery and make up (including nail varnish) should not be worn in school. Earrings are not allowed, except for children with pierced ears, who may wear studs on those days when they do not have swimming or P.E. On swimming and P.E. days studs should not be worn. The only exception to this rule is if a child’s ears have very recently been pierced, in which case they may wear their studs provided they have been covered with tape (by a parent) before coming to school. Once the lesson is over the child may remove the tape.
Children may wear an ordinary watch when they are able to tell the time but responsibility for its safe keeping belongs to them, and the school will not be held responsible for any losses.
