School Uniform

Wearing a school uniform gives the children both a sense of pride and belonging to the Bletchingdon School community. The school logo reflects the school's vision for each child to develop their skills and talents so they can become light in the world. 

We encourage the children to take care of their belongings and to take responsibility of their uniform and kit whilst it is in school. 

School Uniform Policy

Our school uniform colours are purple, white and grey. Children should wear the following as part of their school uniform:

• White or purple polo t-shirt (with or without the school logo)
• Charcoal grey trousers/shorts/skirt/pinafore dress
• Purple jumper or cardigan with the school logo
• Socks - white or black
• Tights - grey or black. Please note girls are not permitted to wear leggings under skirts
• Purple summer dresses are also allowed during the summer term.

Shoes:

• Children should wear black shoes. Shoes must be low heeled and support the foot. Dolly shoes and backless shoes are not permitted. 
• Boots are not permitted in the classroom – children must have a change of footwear if boots are the outdoor footwear.

P.E:

Our PE kit comprises: 

• Blue sports t-shirt
• Black shorts/tracksuit. 
• Trainers – these must be suitable for outside wear and can be the same as the child’s outside trainers or they can be appropriate sports trainers of any colour.

Jewellery:

No jewellery is allowed apart from small, plain, stud earrings (gold or silver) and an appropriate watch. Earrings should not be worn on swimming or PE days.

Make Up/Hair:

• Nail varnish and make up are not permitted in school
• Hair should be of a natural colour only
• Long hair should be tied back at all times. Hair accessories should be discrete
• Short hair cuts should be appropriate for school.

Swimming:

Pupils may take part in swimming lessons in Key Stage 2. Girls should wear a single piece costume and boys should wear trunks/swimming shorts. Swimming goggles are permitted and parents are asked to sign a permission form for this which is sent out with other swimming information.

Non School Uniform Days: 

Occasionally the school has a non uniform day. Children may wear their home clothes but the rules about shoes and jewellery remain.

Lost Property:

Every item needs to be named please - you can use iron on or sew in labels or simply write it on the garment label. Doing this means lost items are easier to re-unite with their owners.

We make every attempt to return named items to the children within school. Un-named items are stored in the box in each classroom.
