School Uniform

Pupils in King’s Park Secondary are expected to wear school uniform as this helps to create an ethos of belonging to and pride in the school and promote the identity of the school in the local community. In addition, the wearing of a uniform helps to strengthen security as pupils are easily identifiable, enabling staff to identify and approach visitors more readily. In Session 22/23 we carried out a consultation on school uniform with pupils, parents/carers and staff and based on feedback relaxed our uniform policy to include unbranded joggers, leggings and shorts. Reflecting on the cost of the school day, pupils, parents/carers and staff overwhelmingly agreed that it was important all items of clothing were unbranded to keep in mind cost and ensure greater equity amongst all young people.

The uniform is black and white and consists of:

•  Black blazer (optional)
•  White school shirt, school blouse or polo shirt
•  School tie (available from the School Office) which must be tied properly and visible at all times
• Black cardigan, black jumper or black sweatshirt/hoodie – either with school logo or unbranded
• Black school trousers, leggings, joggers, skirt or smart shorts (unbranded)
• Black footwear

Pupils will be asked to remove items of clothing advertising brand names or which conceal the school tie.
