Uniform

At Denmark Road High School, the uniform is worn with pride as a symbol of our shared identity, unity, and sense of belonging. We also acknowledge and value the diversity within our community and recognise that, for some students, aspects of uniform expectations may not be suitable due to specific identified needs or personal comfort regarding style. Where appropriate, students are therefore able to exercise choice in certain items of the uniform, in line with school guidance and expectations.

Sixth Form Students should aim for a smart, professional appearance based on respectability and common sense.

Find out more about the uniform required for your child's year group here:

Required/compulsory branded items:

  • Denmark Road High School blazer with school badge

Students may choose to wear either of the following shirts throughout the year as a compulsory item of our uniform.

  • Short-sleeved striped shirt with revere collar
  • Long-sleeved striped shirt with revere collar
  • Long-sleeved striped shirt with buttons to the neck with our Denmark Road tie

Students will also be able to choose from additional colours and styles of skirt/trousers to complement the striped shirt/shirt and blazer:

  • Navy or grey skirt, straight, with a small vent at the back, no shorter than mid-thigh
  • Pleated navy or grey skirt, no shorter than mid-thigh
  • Navy blue or grey straight leg school trousers
  • Plain navy blue or grey cardigan, jumper or tank top (if required) which must have a V-neck, not be of sweatshirt/fleece material and not be longer than the blazer. Zipped cardigans are not acceptable
  • Steel grey, navy blue or black socks or tights

We have identified several items of clothing supplied by Monkhouse as preferred garments. These will be identified on the Monkhouse website. You are, of course, able to source these items from other suppliers should you wish to, however they should aim match the shade and colour of the preferred Monkhouse products.

Some key items need to be purchased from our school supplier, Monkhouse, who have a shop in Gloucester City Centre.  Alternatively, we have a generously stocked Second Hand Uniform Shop run by our Reception team.
