We are keen to maintain the highest standards of school uniform. We believe it helps to give our students a sense of belonging to a community and a sense of pride in that community. It also helps to teach them the importance of wearing the right clothes for a particular situation.
We ask for parents’ support in ensuring that we work together to maintain the smart and professional appearance of our students.
In choosing Oldbury Academy parents agree to support and help us maintain high standards of uniform throughout their child’s time at the school
We are grateful for the support of our parents in helping us achieve and maintain high standards of uniform.
We ask that parents;
• Work in partnership with the school to ensure that all students are sent to school in the correct uniform.
• Reinforce our expectations with regard to general appearance, e.g. hairstyles, piercing, etc.
• Communicate with the school if for some unavoidable reason a student has to attend school without full uniform.
• If a student persistently fails to wear our school uniform, parents may be contacted to bring in the correct clothing.
• Students will respect and adhere to our uniform code and wear their uniform with pride.
• Students can expect to be challenged if they fall short of our high expectations.
• Students must organise themselves and bring PE and other specialised kit to school when required. Repeated failure to bring kit can also lead to further sanctions and parents/carers will be contacted.
Oldbury Academy has set up a fund so that assistance is given towards the cost of school uniform for those parents/guardians who are eligible for Free School Meals (FSM) or are registered Pupil Premium students. Pupil Premium means that you have been in receipt of FSM at some point in the last six years – as confirmed by DfE guidance.
