School Uniform
The Governing Body of Kingswood Parks Primary School has decided that all children should wear clothing that is in keeping with a purposeful learning ethos and is based on the following principles:
- promotes a sense of pride amongst the children in the school;
- engenders a feeling of community and belonging;
- is practical and smart;
- identifies the children with the school;
- is not distracting in class (as fashion clothes might be);
- makes children feel equal to their peers in terms of appearance;
- is regarded as suitable, and good value for money, by most parents;
- has been designed with health and safety in mind;
- impacts positively on attitudes to learning
School Uniform:
This consists of:-
- Kingswood Parks sweatshirt or cardigan;
- Pale blue polo shirt;
- Grey or black school trousers/shorts or skirt – no jeans or leggings please:
- Sensible black school shoes or Trainers
- Black sandshoes for indoors
- Blue checked summer dress in warmer months (optional)
P.E. Kit
For reasons of both Health and Safety and personal hygiene children must change for every PE lesson. We also ask our staff to change for PE. Our PE kit consists of:
- Black shorts;
- White Kingswood Parks T-shirt;
- Trainers.
Best practice requires that children take part in indoor PE lesson in their bare feet. In cold weather, children will need to bring navy blue or black long trousers (tracksuit bottoms or similar) and a sweatshirt to wear over their PE kit.
Child must remove earrings for PE lessons, or if this is not possible, provide suitable tape or plasters to cover them.
