The wearing of sports kit on school days

• On any day when a student has sports i.e. Games, PE or a sports practice, they may wear the appropriate KGS sports kit for the activity to avoid carrying too much kit and equipment with them all day.

• On any such day, all students wearing sports kit must wear a compulsory top layer of their red KGS midlayer and their black KGS tracksuit bottoms with a pair of smart, clean trainers suitable for sport/physical activity. You may, therefore, wish to order spares of the mid-layer and tracksuit bottoms.

Other considerations

• Only very discreet make-up and no nail varnish is to be worn.
• Only one pair of discreet simple stud earrings may be worn.
• No other jewellery, except for a watch is permitted.
• Hair accessories must be plain in black, red, grey or white in colour.
• Hairstyles must not be deemed to be extreme in style or colour (natural colours only).
• No other jewellery, except for a watch or small necklace showing religious affiliation (and must be tucked into shirts and not clearly visible) is permitted.
• All students must be clean shaven (unless a justified exemption is agreed).

SECOND-HAND UNIFORM 

The Parent Staff Association (PSA) holds a second-hand uniform sale twice a year, at the PSA Summer and Christmas Fairs. This is a great opportunity to pick up pre-loved items.
