Uniform Policy

At Killigrew, we expect all children in the main school (Reception to Y6) to wear a school uniform. Our smart and practical uniform is in place because:

• It encourages a strong sense of identity, pride and belonging within our school community
• It sets an appropriate climate and readiness to learn
• Children are easily recognisable so are safer when travelling to and from school and attending school trips

Winter Uniform

• Red or white polo shirt or white shirt/blouse
• Grey skirt, pinafore dress or smart, tailored trousers
• Red sweatshirt, cardigan or V-neck jumper
• Red, grey or white tights or white/grey socks
• Low heeled, closed toe, black, blue or red leather type shoes – no trainers, crocs, long boots or jelly shoes
• Killigrew fleece (optional-for outdoor use only)
• A red Killigrew cap for off site trips
