The School Uniform
The children dress in school uniform. The colours are brown for skirts, trousers, cardigans, sweatshirts ~ yellow polo shirts (not T~shirts). Summer dresses are yellow and white check. Should a child transfer from a school with a different colour uniform we are happy that the child continues in these colours until such times as the uniform needs replacing.
Oak Farm School uniform may be purchased from the school office subject to availability and some uniform is also available online from Asda,John Lewis and Marks and Spencer.
Should you wish your child to wear a sun hat there is a style recommended by the school ~ a sample of this is kept in the medical room.
Nursery children do not wear uniform but we do ask that they wear clothes which are easy to manage as all the children, including those in the nursery, are encouraged to be responsible for dressing and undressing. Children also need to be able to identify their clothes should they be mislaid. Clothes should therefore be clearly marked with the child’s name.
Children in school need plimsolls, dark shorts and white t-shirt for P.E.
We ask that painting overalls and aprons are stored in a suitable sized bag which can be purchased from the school. The bags bear the school emblem and can be hung on the coat pegs. Large sports bags are not allowed as they are a health and safety hazard.
Should your child have an accident and need fresh clothing, the school will provide them and send the soiled clothes home. We would be grateful if you would wash and return our articles of clothing promptly as we will require them again.
Jewellery can be dangerous and we advise that jewellery is not worn at school. If your child has pierced ears, studs only must be worn. We also ask you to supply a reel of micropore tape to cover stud earrings during PE and games. This will ensure unnecessary accidents do not occur.
