Uniform Policy

Uniform Policy

At Kirklevington, we have an expectation that all children wear our school uniform.

We also believe that uniform should never be a barrier to learning. We will support any family having difficulties in purchasing uniform, please contact our school office: 01642 781261 or speak to a member of staff.

Although there are a number of items available to purchase with our school logo on, this is not a requirement at the school.

Please ensure all clothing (including shoes, wellies, coats and hats) is clearly labelled with your child’s name.

We have a uniform for our nursery children consisting of:

• Grey trousers or skirt
• White polo-shirt, either plain or with the Kirklevington logo

• Red school summer dresses and grey shorts can be worn in the summer term (usually April-July) or in exceptionally hot weather.
• Plain black, sturdy shoes

Children should not be wearing sports’ logo clothing nor other colours of clothing.

In Key Stage two, children will go swimming for a period of time. You will be provided with advance notice of requirements. Occasionally, we may go on a trip that requires specific types of clothing, e.g. ‘Robinwood residential’.  Please speak to the school office if you require any support.

Preloved uniform

We have a small amount of preloved uniform available free to parents. We also accept donations of uniform that is good quality. If you would like to find out more, please contact a member of staff.

Jewellery

Children are not allowed to wear jewellery at school for health and safety reasons. Where ear-rings have to be worn, children should wear studs. Ear-rings must be removed for P.E. and for swimming by the children themselves.

Extreme Hairstyles

The school does not permit children to have hairstyles that could serve as a distraction to other children and are not in keeping with the ethos of the school. This includes shaved patterns, excessive use of hair products and false hair. The definition of an extreme hairstyle is at the discretion of the Head of School.

Make-up:

Make-up may not be worn to school, unless for themed activity days and a function out of school hours, e.g. a school disco.

Nail Varnish

Nail varnish on children is not permitted.
