UNIFORM Years 7-11 Uniform at King Henry’s King Henry’s pupils are expected to take pride in their uniform and appearance: clothes should be clean, in good repair and worn properly; hair must be tidy, of natural colour and appropriate for a school setting. All articles must be clearly marked with the pupil’s name and Form Uniform Travelling to/from School School uniform will be worn whenever pupils are on site at King Henry VIII School. This includes the journey to and from school and on school visits as required. To promote a healthy lifestyle, our uniform does not preclude walking or cycling to school. Pupils are permitted to wear light colours and reflective materials over their uniform, so that pupils are as visible as possible when walking or cycling to school during the winter months. Uniform Sales The Parents’ Association run uniform sales every Half Term in the School Hall, where second hand items of uniform can be purchased. Further Questions? If a pupil or family are experiencing any difficulties caused by our uniform guidance on such bases as religion, race, disability, gender identity or medical issues then they are encouraged to contact their child’s Head of Year to discuss further.
