Uniform & Equipment

We are proud of our academy and proud of our students. We want our students to take a pride in themselves and their own appearance. That is why academy uniform is compulsory at Duke’s Aldridge Academy. Our uniform has been selected to be smart, affordable and practical. All items can be purchased in local high street stores and supermarkets, except for the tie, which can be purchased at the academy. 

All students must wear:
