Uniform

King’s has its own, specially selected uniform and PE kit (available through Alpha school wear) so that students will feel part of the school community. Items of clothing have been chosen carefully so that they are not unduly expensive, but are exceptionally smart. It is the policy of King’s that uniform is to be worn by all students. We have high expectations of all students and personal presentation is important as a leader in the world of work.

Uniform Standards

How to Buy School Uniform 

​Second-Hand Uniform Provision

We are requesting donations of any uniform (all King’s branded items and general items such as grey trousers) and PE kit your child no longer needs or fits in. With the cost of living increasing, we have set up a ‘preloved’ uniform base in school to help our King’s families. Therefore, if you have any uniform that is still in good condition please could you drop this at our school reception, washed and clean.

To access the preloved uniform, simply email info@kingsbolton.com with the name of the item and size.
