West Kirby Primary School’s policy on school uniform is based on the belief that school uniform;
-
Promotes a sense of pride in our school
-
Helps to create a sense of community and belonging towards the school
-
Identifies the children with the school
-
Supports our commitment to inclusion
-
Prevents children from wearing ‘fashion clothes’ that could be distracting in class
-
Is practical, smart and designed with health and safety in mind
-
Is considered good value for money by most parents
Our School Uniform
We expect all our children to wear a school sweatshirt/jumper/cardigan, ideally carrying our school logo. Items with our school logo can be purchased from local uniform shops.
School uniform items can also be purchased from any high street store or supermarket.
Children are expected to wear flat, black school shoes unless on a PE day when they will be asked to come into school in their PE kit/trainers for the whole day.
We expect all pupils to comply with this uniform policy, which will be monitored. Any pupil who falls short of these requirements will be advised of this fact by their class teacher and given the opportunity to improve. Continued failure to comply will be brought to the attention of the Headteacher.

School Bags/Book Bags
Large bags do not need to be brought into school. There is a great shortage of space in our cloakrooms and large bags exacerbate the problem. Lunch boxes can be carried into school and the stored on class lunch trolleys.
Book bags are available to purchase from The School Office for £5.00.
Second Hand Uniforms
FUPS - We have a collection point in school for any unwanted school uniform. This is taken to FUPS, who operate a shop where Parents and Carers can get free school uniform from. Explore their website to find out more about how free school uniform can be obtained.
