School Uniform
We firmly believe that encouraging an active lifestyle and promoting play is vitally important. We feel that by putting in place our new uniform policy we can do both whilst ensuring that children are comfy, like what they are wearing and look like they belong to OCEPS.
From September 2025 our uniform policy is:
Plain black bottoms - trousers, joggers, leggings, cycling shorts, skirts, skorts, shorts. No branding or side stripes should be visible. If it is, parents will be contacted. Please note: football kit shorts are not suitable. Cycling shorts must be long and at least ¾ down the thigh. A black pinafore can also be worn.
Red top - polo shirt with sweatshirt, jersey cardigan or fleece as an extra layer if needed (no knitted tops) School branding optional. Please note that PE t-shirts are no longer part of school uniform.
Plain black shoes - trainers or shoes can be worn as long as they are completely black. Parents will be contacted if other colours can be seen. Branded trainers are acceptable as long as they are plain black. Plain black sandals can be worn in the summer but children must wear socks with them. We ask that children only wear shoes with laces if they are able to tie them up independently.
Red and white checked summer dress or playsuit - this does not include skirts or shorts.
Black socks or tights
Long hair must be tied back and small red or black hair accessories can be worn
No jewellery, unless of a religious nature, apart from a small pair of studs. Children must be able to remove earrings independently for PE.
IMPORTANT: Please remember to label all items of clothing, bags and lunchboxes, including drinks bottles, shoes, coats, hat and gloves so if they are lost they can easily be reunited with your child.
School reserves the right to decide appropriate styles of clothing and will work together with parents where they feel a standard isn't being met. We are always happy for you to check with us before purchases are made.
