CLOTHING AND UNIFORM

At Overtown Primary School we strongly encourage children to wear uniform and all do so.

Uniform consists of;

– black blazer or fleece with school badge

– grey trousers/skirt

– white shirt

– school tie – red and green

– sweaters or cardigans should be grey

– black school shoes (not trainers)

To protect clothes in art and craft work, each child should have an old shirt, blouse or apron. This may be kept in school.

ALL articles of clothing should be clearly labelled with the child’s name.
Clothing which is unacceptable in school under any circumstances includes items which;

– could potentially encourage factions (eg football colours)
– could cause offence (eg anti-religious symbolism or political slogans)
– could cause health and safety difficulties, such as loose fitting clothing, dangling earrings and other potentially dangerous jewellery
– are of flammable materials which may be a danger in certain classes (eg shell suits)
– could cause damage to flooring
– carry advertising, in particular for alcohol or tobacco
– could be used to inflict damage on other pupils or to be used by others to do so
