School Uniform
Oak Lodge Primary School has its own uniform. We believe that, besides being practical clothing for school, it helps to give children a feeling of identity and pride in their school. All clothing worn in school should adhere to the school colours. All clothing worn to school should be clearly marked with your child's name.
Most basic items can be bought from chain stores. Those items marked with a * are only available from the school uniform supplier, http://www.graduates-schoolwear.co.uk .
PE Kit
In response to the views expressed in our recent parent survey, from September 2021, children should wear their PE kit in school on PE days. PE kit should be worn as follows:
- Black shorts or black or green tracksuit bottoms
- House coloured PE T-shirt
- Plain black or green sweat shirt
- Black or white trainers
- Tracksuits should not have logos.
The House names and colours are as follows:
Venus - Red
Jupiter - Yellow
Saturn - Green
Mercury - Blue
We ask that parents follow the dress code closely and we will monitor this.

Jewellery No jewellery or nail varnish should be worn in school. Simple wrist watches are permitted in years 3-6 but are brought to school at the owner's risk. They must be silent and named. If your child does bring a watch to school, please ensure that it is engraved or clearly marked with their name.
We discourage the wearing of earrings in school, however pupils with pierced ears may wear a pair of simple stud earrings. These must be removed prior to school on PE days. (Pupils should have ears pierced in the first week of the summer holidays in order that they can heal before they return to school.)
Rings, bracelets or necklaces must not be worn in school for health and safety reasons unless they are authorised medical alerts.
Art All children will need to provide a painting apron or shirt to wear during art lessons to protect clothing.
Lost Property If uniform is not clearly marked then there is a considerable problem returning items to their owners. Marked items are returned to the owner as soon as possible. Any unnamed items are given to the school shop for resale or disposed of, if they are unable to be sold.
Mobile phones Mobile phones are not allowed to be used in school. Pupils in years 5 and 6, travelling to and from school independently, may bring a mobile phone to school, but this must be given to the school office during the school day.
Security We do not accept responsibility for items of personal property or money brought to school.
