Phones and smart watches that are seen will be confiscated and stored safely and only returned when a parent/ carer collects it from school

Are students allowed to “customise” their uniform?

It is important that all our students look and feel good about themselves, which is why we insist on high standards of dress and appearance.  Our uniform helps students to achieve these high standards and we ask for your continued support in ensuring that our uniform is worn as intended.  To help clarify some issues, here are some key points:

  • Skirts:  Should be knee length or longer Skirts are available in a variety of lengths at Kids Kirkby (some may need to be ordered) so that all girls should be able to comply with this requirement.
  • Tie:  Should be worn at the length intended with the school logo clearly visible below the knot.
  • Shirts:  Should be tucked in at all times.
  • Blazers: Should be worn at all times unless permission to remove them has been sought and given by the class teacher (or the Headteacher).

We advise that all items of equipment and uniform, especially blazers and outdoor coats, are clearly labelled with the student’s name. 

Students are expected to bring a bag to school every day.  As well as a bag, students will need: pencil case, pens, pencils, ruler, rubber and sharpener.
