For September 2024 there are changes to the King’s Academy Brune Park uniform for pupils in Year 7-10. This includes the introduction of the KABP school blazer and the new KABP logo that appears on the blazers and school ties.
Year 11 can continue to wear their shirt, tie, black v-neck jumper and smart tailored trousers or shorts. No leggings, jean style or stretch jersey. Shoes should be leather or leather-like (capable of being polished). Plain black socks only.
We will continue to maintain high standards for uniform and in September we expect all pupils to wear full school uniform.
At King’s Academy Brune Park, we believe the school uniform achieves three important goals:
- It encourages a sense of community identity and pride. By wearing the same badge and the same clothing, students are encouraged to think of the needs of the community as well as their own individual needs.
- It encourages our students to develop habits for life. By learning to polish their shoes, fold trousers or hang up their blazers, pupils learn the habits of discipline and personal responsibility that will stay with them for life.
- It prevents unkindness or bullying while keeping costs down. By requiring all our students to wear the same low-cost uniform, we reduce the incentive for students to ask parents for the latest (and most expensive) items of fashion. As a result, costs are kept as low as possible and no child can be seen to be poorer or wealthier than any other.
