Uniform
At Whitkirk, we have high standards – we are proud to be from Whitkirk and therefore, we wear our school uniform with pride.
We believe that a school uniform is an important part of school life. It contributes to good order within the classroom, health and safety while out of school on visits, and it provides children with a sense of identity of belonging to the school community.
We ask that children wear a white or pale blue shirt or blouse with a royal blue sweatshirt or cardigan. These should be worn with either grey trousers, pinafore dress, or a skirt. In summer, girls may wear a gingham blue and white checked dress. The sweatshirts and cardigans can be bought online either with or without the school logo.
For PE, we ask that pupils wear a white polo shirt and a pair of black shorts. Outdoor PE will require suitable outdoor sports clothing and footwear, especially during the winter months. This may include black jogging bottoms or black leggings.
Cycling shorts are only permitted during PE lessons and not as part of general school uniform.
Shoes: Children should wear black shoes or trainers.
Nail Varnish and Makeup: Regular day-to-day wearing of nail varnish and makeup is not permitted. However, on special occasions like PTA dress down day and charity fancy dress days, face paints may be allowed for specific purposes (e.g. dots for Pudsey Bear).
Jewellery: No jewellery apart from a watch, which should be removed during physical education (P.E.) classes. A single pair of stud earrings is allowed, but these must also be removed during P.E.
We appreciate the support of parents/carers in ensuring that these guidelines are followed.
