For Parents/Carers
Proud to Belong to Whitkirk
At Whitkirk Primary School, our uniform is an important part of our school identity. It promotes a sense of pride, belonging and togetherness, helping every child feel part of our Whitkirk community.
We want all children to feel comfortable, confident and ready to learn. Our uniform expectations are designed to be practical, affordable and suitable for the wide range of learning experiences children enjoy throughout the school day.
We recognise the importance of keeping uniform costs manageable for families. Plain, unbranded uniform in our school colours is welcome, and we encourage families to make use of good-quality second-hand uniform.
Our School Uniform
Our school colours are royal blue, grey and white, with pale blue and white gingham options available during warmer weather.
Everyday Uniform
Summer Uniform
During warmer weather, children may also wear pale blue and white gingham summer dresses, twofer dresses or shorts.
We recommend that skirts, dresses and shorts are knee-length.
Physical Education (PE) Kit
Physical education is an important part of our curriculum, helping children develop confidence, coordination, teamwork and a lifelong enjoyment of being active.
Children should come to school wearing their PE kit on their allocated PE days. Class teachers will inform families which days these are.
Indoor PE Kit
Outdoor PE Kit
We ask families to ensure that children wear the appropriate PE kit so they can participate comfortably and safely in all activities.

Affordable and Second-Hand Uniform
We believe that every child should feel proud to belong to Whitkirk, without the cost of school uniform becoming a barrier.
Good-quality second-hand uniform is an affordable and sustainable alternative to buying new clothing. Families can also explore the Leeds School Uniform Exchange for local uniform reuse opportunities.
If you are experiencing difficulties obtaining school uniform, please contact our school office. We recognise that circumstances can change and will always aim to support families sensitively and discreetly.
