Highfields School
Issue 36: 26 June 2020
Newsletter Highfields Uniform - September 2020 As you are aware we are launching the Highfields School blazer in September 2020. This remains our intention as this was in place before the closure of school was announced and we have made a commitment to our suppliers. Both Trutex Direct and Kick Off Sport have now begun stocking the blazer alongside the recommended skirt and school tie. Please refer to the detailed information contained in the Highfields uniform code available on our website (see link below) to ensure your son/daughter has the correct uniform ready for the new academic year. We are liaising with Kick Off Sport regarding the reopening of their store, as there will be a limit of a maximum of two people in the shop at any one time and we are aware that new starters or families needing to purchase a significant amount of uniform may prefer to do this in person. We are working with Kick Off to see how we can support them with social distancing measures during the Coivd-19 pandemic. When further advice is released by the government, the British Retail Consortium and School Wear Association we will liaise with Kick Off and explain how and when uniform can be purchased safely to comply with regulations. In the meantime, orders can be placed on line both with Trutex Direct (https://www.trutex.com/) and Kick Off Sport (https://www.kickoffsport.co.uk/highfields-uniform.html) if you know the size and items required without the need to visit a store directly. To assist with purchasing the right sizes Kick Off Sport have produced a size guide (see link below). Both suppliers have sufficient stocks of uniform to ensure everyone is accommodated for September. We are looking to help support families to purchase uniform who may be struggling financially due to the coronavirus crisis. If you wish to apply for financial support please complete the application (http://www.highfields.derbyshire.sch.uk/pdfs/InfoPDFs/SchoolUniformApplicationGrant.doc) and send along with any supporting documentation to finance@highfields.derbyshire.sch.uk to check eligibility. A Frequently Asked Questions guide has been prepared on our school uniform and has been updated in light of the coronavirus crisis and is available on our website (see link below) If FAQs do not answer your query, please contact uniform@highfields.derbyshire.sch.uk.
