School Uniform Survey and Review - June 2025

RE SCHOOL UNIFORM SURVEY AND REVIEW

 

25th June 2025

 

Dear Parent, Carer,

 

We recently sent out a survey to find out your thoughts on our school uniform for King’s Park Primary and Nursery School.  Thank you to everyone who took the time to complete the survey.   Your participation was greatly appreciated.

 

The results of the survey are as follows:

  • 99% of parents agreed that a uniform is important for all schools.
  • 76% agreed that our current uniform of shirt/tie, jumper/cardigan and skirt or trousers should continue to be worn.
  • 99% agreed that pupils from P1-P7 should continue to wear their tracksuit on PE days.
  • 99% agreed that nursery pupils should continue to wear their tracksuit every day.
  • 61% agreed that all parts of the uniform were easily available and affordable.

Thank you to those who added in a comment at the end.  They have been read and noted.

 

The results have been discussed at length with the Board of Governors.  In response to the survey and the findings, there will be no change to the current policy of full school uniform from P1-P7.  Children will continue to be permitted to wear their tracksuit on PE Days.

 

However, in order to make the uniform more affordable, you may if you wish purchase plain black jogging/tracksuit bottoms without the yellow line and also a plain yellow PE t-shirt without the school logo.  These can be purchased in a range of shops.  All other items of uniform will remain the same.  Black shoes should be worn with the school uniform and trainers (preferably black) worn with the tracksuit.  School badges are available from the school office.

 

We will also not require the children to have a separate yellow t-shirt or shorts to change into for PE.  The black plimsoles will still be required for PE in the Assembly Hall.

 

Please note that there will be a uniform sale of second hand items in Emmanuel Church in Lurgan on July 28th from  9.30am - 11.30am and from 2pm-4pm.  On 29th July the time is from 6.30pm-8.30pm.  All items are £1.  If you have any good quality pieces of uniform you don’t need then please leave these into school by Friday of this week and we will forward these to Emmanuel.

 

Thank you

H Brown
