Our Uniform  
 

The Duston School uniform is integral to our approach. Pupils should wear their uniform with pride, signifying that they are ready to learn. Our uniform approach promotes inclusivity and supports our purposeful learning environment. It is one of the outward signs by which the local community recognises and makes judgements about the pupils. It is important for pupils and the school that the way pupils present themselves is positive and acceptable and supports a well ordered and smart establishment. It is expected that all pupils will come to The Duston School every day correct uniform as we want our students take pride and belonging to the school. The support of parents in ensuring this is expected. These items listed form the regulation Duston School uniform and must be worn on a daily basis.
