Uniform

The Rationale for School Uniform

King’s has its own, specially selected uniform and PE kit (available through our online shop), so that students will feel part of the school community. Items of clothing have been chosen carefully so that they are not unduly expensive, but are exceptionally smart. It is the policy of King’s that uniform is to be worn by all students. We have high expectations of all students and personal presentation is important as a leader in the world of work.
