Uniform and Equipment

KINGSWAY PARK UNIFORM

We consider the uniform to be an essential feature of Kingsway Park High School, helping to establish a disciplined school community.

A uniform creates a sense of belonging which is one of our core values. Everyone is represented as one collective and it matters that students feel smart and proud. They are representatives of our school when they are wearing our school badge. Our uniform is very easy to obtain, and is available at the following uniform providers: Moses Schoolwear and Ziggys Schoolwear. Good quality second-hand uniform is also available at the Altus Community Hub.

PE KIT

  1. Students need to wear their full PE kit for every PE lesson – no exceptions!
  2. If your young person can’t take part for a medical reason, you must send a note explaining why. They’ll still need to bring their PE kit, as they’ll be involved in the lesson in a different way (just not physically).
  3. If students forget their kit, they’ll be expected to borrow a spare one so they can still take part.
  4. For safety reasons, students can’t wear any jewellery or headscarves during PE lessons.
  5. If your young person has long hair, it must be tied back, so remind them to bring a hair bobble with them.

We want to make PE safe, fun, and active for everyone.
