Duke’s Secondary School seeks to create a community in which everyone without exception is respected, valued and happy. The School’s uniform policy makes an invaluable contribution to this by:

  • Contributing to a sense of community identity;
  • Supporting high standards of leadership, behaviour and dress;
  • Instilling respect amongst learners for themselves and others;

All pupils are expected to take pride in their appearance, including their dress, and in their school. As such they are expected to wear the correct uniform at all times.
