Academy Uniform
At The Dukeries Academy we expect everyone to take pride in their personal appearance. A smart school uniform helps us to make sure everyone feels part of The Dukeries ‘team’ and no one is left out.

We expect all students in KS3 and KS4 to wear:
- The Academy Blazer
- White, collared shirt
- Plain black tailored trousers – no jeans, chinos, tight, stretchy or legging styles.
- Plain black, knee length, pleated skirt (optional). For September 2021 the uniform skirt should be purchased from our uniform supplier. If another supplier is used then the skirt must match the same criteria. No other style of skirt is allowed.
- TDA tie featuring the Academy logo. The tie is available for new students to buy from our uniform supplier. We will also hold some stock on site. Existing students returning to the Academy in September 2021 will be provided with a new tie free of charge in exchange for their old black and gold tie.
- All students will receive the new tie free of charge. If you have already purchased one from our supplier, please return it to the Academy and we will reimburse you.
- Black socks/tights – no over the knee style socks are allowed.
- A V-neck black jumper to be worn under the blazer (optional)
