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

Purhasing Uniform

Uniform with the school logo can be purchased from www.pmgschoolwear.co.uk 01895 809321.

COMING SOON!! We will soon be introducing our ‘Re-Use Roost’. It will offer a great selection of pre-loved school uniform, helping families save money while supporting sustainable practices.
