Uniform / QK Shop

PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO QK MOVING TO THE HARRIS FEDERATION AS OF SEPT 1ST 2017, THERE WILL BE A NEW UNIFORM – It is expected that all students will be wearing the correct uniform up until the end of the academic year.

All of our students are expected to take pride in their uniform and are responsible for a high standard of personal appearance. They should create a positive first impression within and outside the school at all times. Uniform should be worn properly on the journey to and from school.

Our uniform is smart and practical to wear and we will always endeavour to provide the best value for money. Parents and Carers’s support is critical in enabling us to uphold a high standard of uniform consistently and effectively. Our uniform requirements are in line with the Department of Education’s School uniform ‘Guidance for governing bodies, school leaders, school staff and local authorities’. Our uniform provider is Price and Buckland and all purchase are made through their website with either home or school delivery.

Items which are alternatives or accessories to school uniform should not be worn and are likely to be confiscated. This includes non QK coats anywhere on site (for years 7 to 9) and outdoor wear worn inside the building. Valuables should not be brought into school, the school is not responsible for the loss or theft of any of these items. Those who do not comply with school regulations will be sanctioned, and may be asked to go home, change and return after a telephone call to Parents and Carers to ensure student safety. Persistent disregard for the school uniform will result in further sanctions.
