Welcome to Education and Learning

School uniforms in the new learning centres
Pupils transferring to year 7 in secondary schools in Knowsley
this year (September 2008) have a lot to look forward to. From
January 2009 onwards, the brand new state-of-the-art learning
centres will be opening, offering excellent facilities.
The temporary Governing Bodies of the new learning centres will
shortly be making decisions on the new school uniforms that your
children will wear. Like parents, they want a uniform that is
attractive, good value for money and easy to buy locally. It should
be something the young people are proud to wear.
The Governors know that you don’t want to buy expensive items
of uniform for September 2008 which cannot be worn in the future.
By July, you’ll receive a list of uniform items for use in
September 2008 which takes account of the later transfer to the
learning centres.
NB - A recent decision has been taken by the School Adjudicator
that Kirkby community learning centre is to open in September 2008.
Mrs Jervis, leader of the new learning centre, is contacting
parents directly with information on uniform requirements. From
September, this centre will be known as Kirkby Sports College
