Uniform

Pupils are expected to take a safe and sensible approach to dress and appearance. Oakfield School has no uniform regulations. However, we expect pupils to dress in weather-appropriate clothing with no overly cropped or short items.

Shoes and boots must not be excessively heeled and must not have steel toe caps. The school relies on parent/carers to support the school in ensuring that pupils are appropriately dressed and ready for school.

Pupils are permitted to wear minimal jewellery such as a ring, watch or small stud/hooped earrings. No heavy items which could pose a risk to others or injury to themselves, and all jewellery should be removed before any physical activity such as the gym or sports hall activities. Facial piercings are not recommended. However, we recognise the importance of individuality and identity, so if facial piercings are worn, we require a waiver to be signed by parents/carers. This is to inform participants of the potential risk of harm or injury.

If parents/carers would like their child to wear a uniform, there is the option for you to purchase school-embroidered clothing, such as polo shirts, sweatshirts and fleece.

The school dress code is founded on self-awareness and self-esteem. We encourage pupils to dress in clean, tidy and appropriate clothing and footwear, ready for the daily learning activities. Pupils should bring a change of clothing for physical education and outdoor lessons.

The school will provide appropriate PPE for specialist lessons, such as Science and Design and Technology.
