Uniform
DfE guidance on school uniform states that "if some children look very different to their peers, this can inhibit integration, equality and cohesion." Furthermore, schools should consider "protecting young people from external pressure to wear clothing they would not otherwise choose to adopt, protecting them from harassment, and from having to adopt dress codes associated with extreme or anti-social elements in the wider community, including styles and colours of clothing associated with gangs." At Duncombe, our uniform code will be fully enforced to ensure that we are meeting the needs of children in our community. The Headteacher has the right to send any child home who is dressed inappropriately or has an extreme hairstyle. Children whose dress or hair does not comply with the school policy will not be permitted to represent the school or accompany outings made by their class.

- Red polo shirt
