Uniform

About our uniform

We believe that wearing a school uniform promotes a sense of pride, belonging, and equality among our students. Our uniform policy ensures that all pupils are dressed appropriately for learning, representing our school community with respect and professionalism.

School Uniform Agreement

School uniform and a smart appearance are very important to Lift Kingsley. Uniform identifies our students and we want them to take pride in it. It is important therefore that parents/carers and students understand the following information :

Between leaving home in the morning and arriving back in the afternoon, students are expected to wear their FULL school uniform.
Students should also remember that while in Lift Kingsley’s uniform they are representing the school.

Your child may qualify for a clothing grant, if you receive:

In addition the school does have a limited stock of quality second hand uniforms, please email contactus@liftkingsley.org for more information. Alternatively if your child has outgrown their blazer for instance and it is still in good condition we may be able to swap it out for a bigger size. Please donate any unwanted uniform that is clean and reusable to the school office and we will then ensure it is offered out to other families.
