Uniform

Why a uniform?

School uniform plays a valuable role in contributing to the ethos of Kelvin Hall and setting the appropriate tone. In common with most schools in England, we have a school uniform and rules on appearance that we require all students to follow.

We believe that the wearing of a uniform:

  • instils pride;

  • supports positive behaviour and discipline;

  • encourages school ethos and identity;

  • ensures all students are included and feel welcome;

  • protects children from social pressures to dress in a particular way;

  • promotes good relationships.

 

Above all, we believe that school uniform indicates a student’s readiness for work and therefore supports effective teaching and learning.

Uniform - Required Items

Please find below a detailed description of our uniform:

- White embroidered polo shirt OR plain white polo shirt (required)

- Black embroidered jumper OR black embroidered cardigan OR black embroidered v-neck (required if your child wishes to wear a jumper)
