At King's Sutton Primary Academy, children are expected to be suitably dressed for school activities. Therefore, a uniform is worn to encourage a positive working atmosphere and to ensure that all children are equal. Uniform supports the identification and safety of pupils when inside and outside of school and it promotes a sense of unity and belonging within our school community.

Our school colours are burgundy red 

and charcoal grey.

KSPA personalised uniform, personalised P.E. bags and book bags are available to order in store or online from our supplier:

Located in Lower Cherwell Street, Banbury, this local company offers families the opportunity to go in store and try garments on before ordering. Alternatively, they also offer a Click and Collect service. For further information please click here to view the Cross Embroidery website.

Items can also be obtained from any retailer all that we ask is that you follow the school colours.

Children will wear a school uniform on most days and a P.E. uniform on their set P.E. days. Class teachers will let parents know which days are P.E. days for the term and children are expected to arrive at school wearing the appropriate clothing. Children will not change for P.E. at school as this takes up a large amount of valuable activity time instead of using this time for the children’s physical education and development.

If your child is attending a school sports festival after school, they will be permitted to attend school in P.E. uniform on this day.

It's an exciting time as we also launch our new multi-coloured logo (April 2026) exclusive to Cross Embroidery! Although this will be the new logo for our school, we are absolutely happy for pupils to wear any gold-embroidered uniform alongside the new. We strongly value sustainability and the reuse of pre-loved uniform, helping to reduce the cost for parents and carers. Pre-loved uniform also remains available through our PTFA.

As per the Government guidance, schools can list up to three branded items per child, that is part of the expected school uniform.

Our chosen items are:

• a branded cardigan or sweatshirt (day-to-day school uniform and can be worn for PE days if parents take this option)
• a branded polo t-shirt (with collar) (day-to-day school uniform)
• a branded sports t-shirt (PE uniform for PE days and sporting events)

As per the guidance, we ask for pupils to wear these items with the school logo. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this, please arrange an appointment to discuss this with Mrs Wade. We want to support families in any way possible, sometimes children have specific needs which means that wearing particular clothing items can present a challenge. Exceptions may be agreed. We also take pride in supporting families on lower-incomes and may be able to offer financial support. Please do not hesitate to arrange an appointment to discuss concerns with Mrs Wade (Headteacher).

Uniform supports the identification and safety of pupils when inside and outside of school. We are also very proud of our school and our sense of belonging and community; the positive working atmosphere is evident within our school and how we present ourselves to the world is an important part of who we are. Pupils at King’s Sutton Primary Academy look smart, prepared and show that they are, together, all part of something truly special. Thank you for your support.

Money & Mobile Phones 

It should not be necessary for children to have large amounts of money at school as KSPA operate a virtually cash free office. Should fundraising money be sent into school this should be done so in a named and sealed envelope and posted in the secure box near the main school office. In the event that mobile phones need to be brought to school, they should be handed in to Mrs Ward at the beginning of the day and collected at the end of school.

Any money, watches etc. found on the premises are taken to the school office, and unclaimed cash is given to charity.

Lost Property

Any un-named items are placed in the LOST PROPERTY BOX in the undercover area by the ramp in the playground and parents/carers are welcome to search these items for any they may be missing at the start or end of the school day. 

Please Note: Any property unclaimed at the end of a term will be disposed of responsibly or sold as second-hand uniform.
