School uniform, PE clothing and equipment
Kingsland CE Primary School has a uniform, which we encourage all our children to wear. We believe a uniform looks smart, is appropriate for school activities, gives children a sense of belonging and avoids discrimination on the grounds of appearance.
Please ensure that all items of clothing are clearly labelled with your child’s name.

Red polo shirt, preferably with a school badge available from Club Sports, Leominster

Summer term:

Reversible jackets with a school badge are also available from Club Sport, Leominster for outdoor wear.
It is important that school shoes are safe for children and do not inhibit them when they play. They should therefore be flat or very low heeled with lace-up, ‘velcro’ or buckle fastenings.
Does your child wear glasses?
If so, please tell your child’s class teacher when they should be worn and send them in a case clearly marked with your child’s name.
In the interests of safety, hygiene and team spirit, we ask for your co-operation in providing the following appropriate clothes for PE and Games:
Key Stage 2 pupils must have shin pads for football and hockey lessons.
For swimming sessions, pupils will require trunks or a swimsuit. A swimming cap is a requirement of Leominster Leisure Pool for school swimming lessons.
All children should have a simple PE kit bag, with their name on, to keep their PE clothing in. Bags should be small as we don’t have the space to store large bags and when they are left lying in the cloakrooms they can cause a dangerous obstruction.
In the interest of safety we prohibit the wearing of jewellery, other than a watch. In particular, children must not wear dangling earrings or necklaces to school. Simple studs only should be worn to preserve pierced ears. Children are not allowed to swim, take part in PE or games wearing jewellery or earrings and for health and safety reasons, school staff are not to take out, or put jewellery into piercings. On swimming, PE and games days, parents are respectfully asked to remove all keepers before school.
Make-up and nail varnish are not permitted during school hours for boys or girls. Hair accessories should be in keeping with school uniform and hairstyles natural and appropriate for school.
