At Oak Green School, it is our policy that all pupils should wear clothing that is in keeping with a purposeful learning ethos, create a sense of pride and community and are safe. We are very proud of our uniform which all children wear. 

School uniform :

• is practical and smart, suitable and hard-wearing clothing for school
• makes children feel equal to their peers in terms of appearance
• identifies the children with the school and creates a sense of community and belonging 

• establishes high expectations and promotes pride

• is considered good value for money by most parents and implies with the latest guidance in law (2021):      

        (See https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-law-to-make-school-uniform-costs-affordable-for-all)

We aim to protect children’s clothing and reduce likelihood of this and of loss, but sometimes unforeseen damage occurs. This risk is to be understood by parents. Oak Green School does not replace lost items and emphasises the importance of naming ALL clothing, especially e.g. during swimming in Y4, sports clubs/ matches etc. If non-accidental damage is proved to have taken place, replacement of the item may be considered or requested of parents of child/ren involved.

Accessories, jewellery and make-up 

Hair is to be safe, smart and appropriate for school. 

Long hair is to be tied back with green, white or black, plain hair-bands with only small bows, or ‘scrunchies’ worn. 

An inexpensive watch may be worn.  However no other jewellery is permitted. 

Small stud earrings only, may be worn in pierced ears - no hoops - and these must be removed or covered by the child with surgical tape for PE - you will be asked to complete a google doc to state that you take responsibility for this. 

Faith items, e.g. Sikh kara may be worn and then tucked safely inside clothing. These may be required to be removed for PE/ sport and kept safely by an adult for this lesson. 

No make-up or nail varnish is appropriate. 

Bags and Coats/ Jackets 

We do not specify any colour or model of coat, only asking that all clothing is suitable for the weather and named, is  long-lasting and realistically priced. We advise against expensive brands or use only for school. This applies also to all bags for school use. These are often large, very expensive for parents, are not filled and take up unnecessary space on coat pegs. As a fashion item and with decorations/ charms sometimes also, there is danger of loss.  

The role of parents 

We ask all parents who send their children to Oak Green School to support this policy for school uniform. We believe that parents have a duty to send their children to school correctly and safely dressed and ready for their school day. One of the responsibilities of parents is to ensure that their child follow this policy and has the correct uniform and correct PE Uniform, and that it is clean and in good repair. 

Oak Green School welcomes children from all backgrounds and faith communities. If there are justifiable reasons, for example on religious grounds, why a parent would wish their child to wear clothes that differ from the school uniform, the school will look sympathetically at such requests. Any request to modify the school uniform should be made to the Co-Headteachers. 

Cardigans, jumpers and polo shirts with a logo can be purchased from Bucks Schoolwear Plus.

Items of uniform do not have to have the school logo on them. Items without a logo can be purchased from any retailer or purchased as pre-loved / second hand uniform. Our Family Support team can support families to purchase pre-loved uniform from the school. 

We are very proud of the smart appearance of our children at Oak Green School and are keen that all children are proud to wear their school uniform.
