Burnt Oak Primary School

Uniform

At Burnt Oak, we have high expectations in all areas of school life and this includes dress. Our uniform consists of simple functional clothing suitable for the range of activities which may be encountered during the school day. We believe children should look neat and tidy and feel part of the school community. By maintaining high standards in uniform means children take pride in the way they look and supports the school’s behaviour policy and therefore helps to maintain high standards throughout all aspects of school life.

Please name all of your child's clothing and belongings that they bring to school.

If children enter the school not wearing the correct uniform a parent will be informed and asked to get the correct uniform. An official letter will go out explaining that this is not the correct uniform and the correct uniform needs to be purchased. Communication is essential, so if there are any problems they need to be relayed to the school. Children may have to wear spare school uniform until the correct uniform is provided. This includes changing into plimsolls if the correct footwear is not being worn. Persistent incorrect uniform will result in the Deputy Head Teacher or Headteacher arranging a meeting with the parents to solve the problem. The school will work in partnership with parents/carers to resolve any difficulties regarding the purchase of school uniform.
