School Uniform

As we continue to support all pupils at Kirkhill to take pride in their school and their learning, I would like to take this opportunity to remind you of our expectations around school uniform for our next school session.

Wearing a school uniform is important as it promotes a sense of belonging and identity within our school community. It helps to create a positive learning environment by reducing distractions, encourages equality among pupils, and fosters pride in being part of Kirkhill.

To ensure consistency, please see our uniform expectations below:

P1–P6:

• Black trousers, leggings, shorts, skirts or pinafores

• White polo shirt

• Grey jumper/cardigan or bottle green jumper/cardigan

• Black school shoes or black trainers

• Green checked dress

P7:

• Black trousers, leggings, shorts or skirts

• White polo shirt

• P7 leavers hoodie

• If not wearing a leavers hoodie, a black jumper/cardigan should be worn

• Black school shoes or black trainers

We are introducing bottle green as an additional option, as we are aware that sourcing grey jumpers can sometimes be a challenge for families.

PE Days: Children should no longer come to school in PE clothing of their choice. On PE days, pupils are expected to wear to school:

• White t-shirt or polo shirt

• School jumper

• Black joggers or shorts

• Appropriate PE shoes

We also ask that all uniform items are non-branded (e.g. no large logos such as Nike, Adidas, etc.). This supports equity across our school, reduces unnecessary cost pressures for families, and helps maintain a consistent and smart appearance for all pupils.

Please also note the following important points:

• Crocs and other slide-on footwear are not appropriate for school at any time

• Jackets should be removed when indoors

• Pupils should not wear jewellery to school

• Fake/acrylic nails should not be worn, as this can pose a safety risk during PE and active play

• Makeup should not be worn to school

• All clothing and belongings should be clearly labelled

We greatly appreciate your support in helping us maintain high standards and ensuring all pupils are dressed appropriately and ready to learn each day.
