For Health and Safety reasons, all pupils with long hair should tie it back during any PE or sports activity, and all ear-rings or jewellery should be removed by the pupil.

Due to the numbers of pupils and nature of activities conducted the wearing of Fitbits and any other watches during P.E. is not allowed; this reflects national safety guidance.

At the end of Year 4, children will be given information about Year 5 swimming lessons, and the kit that they will need.

All uniform items should be clearly named – sadly we throw away many items from the lost property box at the end of each term if they haven’t been claimed.

No items of jewellery should be worn at all; if a child wears a wristwatch, it is their responsibility.

No ear-rings should be worn; if children have pierced ears, they must wear flat studs, no jewels or hoops or dangly ear-rings as these may get caught and cause injury. For PE, all studs should be removed by the child – it is not considered safe to cover studs with tape during PE lessons. School will not be responsible for injury caused when children wear ear-rings/studs or jewellery.

Hair – long hair must be tied back. Hair should not be dyed; it must not be cut into a Mohican or have shaved patterns.

No make-up or nail varnish or temporary tattoos or “fake tan” should be worn.

Unfortunately, school cannot take any responsibility for Fitbits/watches that are lost or damaged during the school day. Pupils are not permitted to wear other ‘smart’ or ‘connected’ watches. This is for safeguarding reasons as this could potentially open pupils up to a range of e-safety issues and concerns.

Our children look very smart in their uniform and it helps them to feel part of Oulton Primary School – we are always proud to take them out on visits and for other people to know we are from Oulton!
