Uniform
Kendrick's uniform consists:
SKIRT: Mid-grey classic style skirt that is either straight or pleated. Skirts should not be tight, slit, or made of stretch fabric. Our recommended supplier is Hawkinsport. The hem of the skirt should be no more than 5cm above the knee.
TROUSERS: Plain, black classic style trousers. These should be straight legged and not a tight, ‘bootleg’, ’drainpipe’ or ‘jeans’ style nor should they be ‘low-rise’. There should be no large belts or buckles. Trousers should not be made out of a denim fabric or leather.
BLOUSE: Plain white, long or short sleeved blouse with reveres collar. The blouse should be tucked into the waistband when worn under a sweatshirt so that it is not visible below it. A white tee-shirt or top may be worn under the blouse but not coloured tee-shirts or bras that would show through the blouse.
SWEATSHIRT: Sweatshirt in “Kendrick red” with embroidered school crest.
SHOES: Black shoes of sensible design with low heels. No trainers, flat pumps, stilettos or platform shoes.
TIGHTS AND SOCKS: Tights – black, grey or flesh coloured. Socks – plain black, grey or white.

Famous quotes containing the word uniform:
“When a uniform exercise of kindness to prisoners on our part has been returned by as uniform severity on the part of our enemies, you must excuse me for saying it is high time, by other lessons, to teach respect to the dictates of humanity; in such a case, retaliation becomes an act of benevolence.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“Iconic clothing has been secularized.... A guardsman in a dress uniform is ostensibly an icon of aggression; his coat is red as the blood he hopes to shed. Seen on a coat-hanger, with no man inside it, the uniform loses all its blustering significance and, to the innocent eye seduced by decorative colour and tactile braid, it is as abstract in symbolic information as a parasol to an Eskimo. It becomes simply magnificent.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“An accent mark, perhaps, instead of a whole western accent—a point of punctuation rather than a uniform twang. That is how it should be worn: as a quiet point of character reference, an apt phrase of sartorial allusion—macho, sotto voce.”
—Phil Patton (b. 1953)
