As such there are no branded items so uniform can be purchased from a variety of high street suppliers such as Asda, Argos, Sainsburys, Tesco, Poundland, Home & Bargains and Amazon. Below is a list of items that pupils are expected to wear. For both permanently excluded and intervention pupils are permitted to wear the uniform from their previous school to avoid parents having to pay out for extra uniform if its is still in good condition. Adjustments to uniform can be agreed in advance to allow for sensory preferences, this is done during the admissions process. We have spare new and used uniform available at The Acorns School for any students that may need it. Skelmersdale FUS (Free Uniform for School) also has donated uniforms available for free for any parents that may need it. We do not have a summer/winter uniform the below items can be worn all year round. **Pupils will be expected to wear the following uniform or uniform from their previous school:** - Plain black trousers or plain black skirt. - Opaque, thick, plain black, ankle length leggings are permitted (see below for types of leggings not permitted) - Plain white shirt or plain white polo shirt/t shirt. - Plain black jumper with no logos. - Plain black zip up top with no obvious logos or hood. - Plain black shoes or plain trainers, the trainers should not have intense logos, the plainer the better. - A black "The Acorns School" logo hoodie will be provided for pupils that wish to wear one. Please note the following: - Sports/mesh panels/patterned/scrunched leggings are not permitted. - Other hoodies are not allowed. - Non natural hair colours and hairstyles are not permitted. - Extreme piercings are not permitted. This is at the discretion of the Head Teacher. ### Uniform Gallery [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/the-acorns-school/imagecache/480x480c/gallery/uniform-gallery/blob.jpg) ](https://files.schudio.com/the-acorns-school/images/gallery/uniform-gallery/blob.jpg) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/the-acorns-school/imagecache/480x480c/gallery/uniform-gallery/blob%20(1).jpg) ](https://files.schudio.com/the-acorns-school/images/gallery/uniform-gallery/blob%20(1).jpg) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/the-acorns-school/imagecache/480x480c/gallery/uniform-gallery/blob%20(2).jpg) ](https://files.schudio.com/the-acorns-school/images/gallery/uniform-gallery/blob%20(2).jpg) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/the-acorns-school/imagecache/480x480c/gallery/uniform-gallery/51Fb1Av2CfL._AC_UX466_.jpg) ](https://files.schudio.com/the-acorns-school/images/gallery/uniform-gallery/51Fb1Av2CfL._AC_UX466_.jpg) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/the-acorns-school/imagecache/480x480c/gallery/uniform-gallery/blob%20(3).jpg) ](https://files.schudio.com/the-acorns-school/images/gallery/uniform-gallery/blob%20(3).jpg) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/the-acorns-school/imagecache/480x480c/gallery/uniform-gallery/blob%20(4).jpg) ](https://files.schudio.com/the-acorns-school/images/gallery/uniform-gallery/blob%20(4).jpg) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/the-acorns-school/imagecache/480x480c/gallery/uniform-gallery/blob%20(5).jpg) ](https://files.schudio.com/the-acorns-school/images/gallery/uniform-gallery/blob%20(5).jpg) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/the-acorns-school/imagecache/480x480c/gallery/uniform-gallery/Acorns%20Hoodie%20image%20for%20website.jpg) ](https://files.schudio.com/the-acorns-school/images/gallery/uniform-gallery/Acorns%20Hoodie%20image%20for%20website.jpg) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/the-acorns-school/imagecache/480x480c/gallery/uniform-gallery/blob%20(6).jpg) ](https://files.schudio.com/the-acorns-school/images/gallery/uniform-gallery/blob%20(6).jpg) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/the-acorns-school/imagecache/480x480c/gallery/uniform-gallery/blob%20(7).jpg) ](https://files.schudio.com/the-acorns-school/images/gallery/uniform-gallery/blob%20(7).jpg) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/the-acorns-school/imagecache/480x480c/gallery/uniform-gallery/blob%20(8).jpg) ](https://files.schudio.com/the-acorns-school/images/gallery/uniform-gallery/blob%20(8).jpg) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/the-acorns-school/imagecache/480x480c/gallery/uniform-gallery/black%20nike%20trainers.jpg) ](https://files.schudio.com/the-acorns-school/images/gallery/uniform-gallery/black%20nike%20trainers.jpg) ### Parent Information - [Term Dates](https://the-acorns-school.schudio.com/our-school/termdates) - [The School Day](https://the-acorns-school.schudio.com/parent-information/the-school-day) - [Uniform](https://the-acorns-school.schudio.com/parent-information/uniform) - [Attendance](https://the-acorns-school.schudio.com/parent-information/attendance) - [School Meals](https://the-acorns-school.schudio.com/parent-information/school-meals) - [Parent Support Links](https://the-acorns-school.schudio.com/parent-information/parent-support-links) - [Parent & Pupil Voice](https://the-acorns-school.schudio.com/parent-information/parent-and-pupil-voice) ### [Latest News](https://the-acorns-school.schudio.com/news) #### [Year 10 pupil spreads his wings with Apple CAST](https://the-acorns-school.schudio.com/news/2026-11-03-year-10-pupil-spreads-his-wings-with-apple-cast) 3 November 2026 #### [Year 10 build strong study habits](https://the-acorns-school.schudio.com/news/2026-10-21-year-10-build-strong-study-habits) 21 October 2026 #### [Pilot Outreach Support Service delivers positive progress for pupils](https://the-acorns-school.schudio.com/news/2026-10-19-pilot-outreach-support-service-delivers-positive-progress-for-pupils) 19 October 2026 ![The Acorns School](https://files.schudio.com/the-acorns-school/images/logo/Attachment_-_Trauma_logo-2.png) ### Contact Us **The Acorns School** 43 Ruff Lane Ormskirk Lancashire L39 4QX Tel: 01695 575486 ### Useful Links - [Parent Support Links](https://the-acorns-school.schudio.com/parent-information/parent-support-links) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-acorns-school-ormskirk) © Copyright 2021–2026 The Acorns School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://the-acorns-school.schudio.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
