Class Parent Representatives
Our ‘class reps’ offer support to new parents via a strong network of parent representatives. They will contact new parents prior to their children starting King’s Ely to welcome and advise them so that they settle into the King’s Ely community with ease. A representative should be in touch with you prior to your child starting at King’s to answer any questions you may have.
For your class representative please contact VictoriaLever@kingsely.org
To ensure your child is ready for school, you will need to purchase their uniform from our official supplier, Stevenons. You can find comprehensive and up-to-date uniform lists for each year group, including both compulsory and optional items, on the Stevensons website:
We encourage you to visit the website at your convenience to familiarise yourself with the specific uniform requirements for your child’s year group. Stevensons offers an online ordering service for your ease and convenience.
If you have any questions regarding the uniform, please do not hesitate to contact the school or Stevensons directly.
