What's good about our uniform?
- It creates a sense of community & belonging
- It is unisex and therefore we have equality
- We don't have to plan what we wear to school
- It allows us to take part in practical activities without being too self conscious
- It is cost effective
- I can cycle to school and look respectable
- The school Oak Leaf on our crest represents the idea of growing -
we are learning to grow

Other PE Kit Notes
Due to changes in the PE curriculum, pupils will now participate in outdoor winter sports for approximately 10 weeks. Therefore, football boots have become a necessity rather than an optional item in order to reduce the risk of injury. Many stores sell football boots for around £10 which are more than adequate. There is no need to buy expensive pairs if they will not be used outside of lessons.
Other Uniform Notes

- The light blue polo shirt with school crest is only available from the National Schoolwear Centre.
- Jeans, casual trousers, T-shirts, casual or high fashion wear are not acceptable or suitable in the context of school dress.

- Sweat shirts are not allowed for normal school wear - only those with the school crest available from the National Schoolwear Centre.
- white T-shirts must not be worn and visible underneath the light blue polo shirt. Too keep warm, the official school round neck jumper should be worn.
- Jewellery (watches excepted) and make-up must not be worn. Pupils with pierced ears must wear only one pair of studs or small flat earrings.

- It is our aim at Kesgrave High School to bring each individual to his/her full potential in a school atmosphere of harmony and shared community values. For this reason, we insist upon reasonable standards in dress and appearance. Naturally, extreme hairstyles are not tolerated.
