At Oldfield Park Infant we encourage all children to wear our school uniform. We believe that our uniform creates a sense of identity and community and protect the children from social pressures to dress in a particular way. We also believe that children should understand that we dress in particular way for school which distinguishes school life from leisure time and other occasions.
We are proud of each of our logo and wearing school uniform helps to reinforce a sense of pride and belonging to our school community.
A range of uniform items including sweatshirts and cardigans, pale blue polo shirts and fleece jackets all embroidered with the logo are available at a reasonable cost from our supplier,

Second Hand Uniform
The PTA runs a termly ‘nearly new uniform shop’ to enable parents to purchase good quality items at a lower price.
The school also keeps a number of spare second hand items which may be offered to parents free of charge where needed. We welcome donations of uniform items that are in good condition and no longer required.
Other Considerations
We are mindful that some children may be less able bodied or have specific cultural traditions. Wherever possible the school will make adaptations to the uniform that meet their needs and allow children to feel included.

Jewellery is not allowed for safety reasons. Children with pierced ears should wear studs at all times. These will need to be removed for PE lessons apart from during the 1st 6 weeks. If your child is unable to remove these themselves you will need to remove them before they come to school on PE days. Wrist bands and other fashion items are also unsuitable for school and should be left at home. |

Long hair should be tied back for the school day. Extreme hair styles (for example, emblems or patterns shaved into the side or back of children’s heads) and colours are not appropriate for school. Hair accessories such as slides, ribbons, bobbles etc. should be plain and simple and, if possible, in school colours. Make up and nail varnish are not allowed to be worn at school. |
