Uniform

For all pupils a sharp distinction is drawn between the formal wear of the working day and more relaxed wear at other times.  It is expected that pupils will look smart and businesslike when wearing school uniform.

Junior girls

The school weekday uniform consists of:

  • Navy jacket
  • Navy skirt
  • Navy socks or tights
  • Black or navy polished shoes
  • Blue striped blouse
  • Navy blue pullover (optional)


On particular formal occasions girls will wear their red striped blouses.

When in uniform girls should not wear make-up or jewellery (with the exception of one small stud per ear and a confirmation chain).  Hair must be neat and tidy, and should not be dyed.

Junior boys

The school weekday uniform consists of:

  • A sports jacket
  • Grey trousers
  • Plain blue shirt
  • Plain grey V-necked pullover (optional)
  • Grey socks
  • Black polished shoes
  • The school tie


Boys' hair must be neat and tidy and may not be dyed.  Boys may not wear jewellery.

In the Summer term, after summer weather has been declared by the Headmaster, boys and girls may wear the school regulation blue polo shirt without a jacket.  They will still need their more formal uniform for special occasions.

Pupils may wear leisure clothes after lessons on weekdays. On weekends they may wear leisure clothes from the end of lessons on Saturday until the start of lessons on Monday morning.

Dress Code for 6th formers

At King's we make a clear distinction between the smart, formal wear expected during working hours and the relaxed wear allowed at other times.  All 6th formers, both boys and girls, should have a suit, to be worn on special formal occasions.  For the normal working day the code is as follows:

Girls

Suits (with trousers or skirts) of a dark suiting material, plain or discreet pin stripe

OR

Dark tailored jackets and dark tailored trousers or skirts, plain or discreetly striped

Skirts must be mid-knee to calf length

Light coloured plain or discreetly striped tailored blouses.  Blouses must be ironed. Midriffs must not be visible

Tights, if worn, must be plain and not laddered

Shoes must be a dark colour and polished, with heels no higher than 3 inches

In cold weather a plain knitted V-neck jumper may be worn

Girls may wear a few items of discreet jewellery and a modest amount of make-up.  Hair must not be dyed and should be neatly groomed.  Excesses of style are not permitted

Boys

Suits of a dark suiting material, plain or discreet pin stripe

OR

Dark, tailored jacket or blazer and dark, tailored, trousers

Formal, light coloured plain or discreetly striped shirts.  These must be ironed and worn tucked in.  Top buttons must be fastened

Ties must be worn

Shoes must be dark brown or black and polished.  Socks must be dark

In cold weather a plain knitted V-neck jumper may be worn

Boys must be clean-shaven and may not wear jewellery.  Hair must not be dyed and should be neatly groomed.  Excesses of style are not permitted

The emphasis in all of the above is on business-like smartness

Suits, trousers and skirts must be pressed

All clothes, whether formal or casual, must be clean and in good repair

Summer code

In the Summer term, in those periods when the Headmaster has declared summer weather, the same code applies, except, where pupils choose:

Jackets and ties need not be worn

Trousers may be of a light, plain colour

Skirts may be light and/or patterned

If a pupil chooses to wear summer dress he/she should not wear a jumper.
