School Uniform

All King’s students are expected to be clean, neat and tidy in their appearance and to wear school uniform in school, on the journey to and from school and on school occasions.  The school expects students to present themselves as they would in a professional, ‘uniformed’ organisation. Top buttons must be done up, with the tie covering the top button.

Shirts must be tucked in, and personal headphones must not be visible.

Hair must be clean and well groomed, with no extremes of length, style or colour (hair should be a natural colour).  Hair longer than the highest point of the shoulder should be tied back.

Students must be clean-shaven or any beards or moustaches must be well groomed, unless there is a recognised religious or cultural reason.
