Oakwood High School is a school proud to wear its uniform.

There will be no exceptions, there will be no excuses.
We encourage pupils to take a pride in their own appearance.

No jewellery except for watches and plain studs.  If you have piercings (only one set of earrings and one nose stud allowed).  No other piercing will be allowed.

MAKE-UP
Only discreet make-up is allowed at school.  (Discreet means subtle and not obvious, so, no coloured eye-makeup, lipstick or blusher; only a thin layer of foundation; minimal eyeliner and mascara).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

1. All equipment brought to school should be clearly marked.
2. Watches and ear studs should be removed for PE lessons.
3. A strong bag is necessary for carrying books and sports equipment.
4. A sensible outside coat, when necessary – no hoods up or caps at anytime!  Pupils will not be allowed to wear any other outdoor clothing within the school, they will be asked to remove coats, jackets, hoodies, etc, and place them in a school bag prior to entry to school.              

PE Uniform 2012-13

Pupils are expected to bring kit to change into for PE.  It is not appropriate for pupils to wear the kit they wear for PE during other lessons.

Pupils who need to be excused from lessons for medical reasons should still bring their kit to wear.  It is important to continue to develop PE knowledge and skills through less physical aspects of the work, eg, coaching, planning and evaluating.

For 2012-13 pupils are invited to wear their ‘old’ blue polo shirts
as acceptable PE kit.

New Year 7's to have a navy blue polo shirt with new school logo. 
Years 8-11 to wear old school blue polo shirt or new blue polo with new school logo.
Jumpers continue with black hooded top.

 AND THEN FOR ALL YEARS

Black shorts
Navy Blue socks
Black Tracksuit bottoms
Trainers
Football boots (optional)

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR NAME IN EACH ITEM OF YOUR SCHOOL CLOTHING, SHOES AND PE KIT, SO IT CAN BE RETURNED IF LOST.
