Uniform Information
School Uniform is one way in which a sense of pride and identity is encouraged. We recommend that the school colours of red and grey are worn, and judging from the appearance of children in school, most parents support this philosophy.
Items on the uniform list may be purchased from Skoolkit in Basingstoke, any chain store, or supermarket. Logo sweatshirts, polo-shirts and T-Shirts are only available from Skoolkit.
Nearly New Uniform Shop
There is a wide range of nearly new uniform available. Please contact by email juniornearlynew@gmail.com or via the OJSA Facebook page for further details. Donations of good quality items are always appreciated and can be left at the school office. Order forms are also available from the school office.
Uniform:
Jewellery, Hair Ornaments and Make-up
For many reasons, including safety, we do not allow children to wear jewellery. The exceptions to this rule are earring studs in pierced ears. Children are required to remove any items during P.E. lessons to prevent them from causing injury.
Please note: Teachers are not permitted to remove earrings.
Hair bands, ribbons/bows or ‘scrunchies’ should be plain. Hair bands should not have large flowers or other decorations attached. Make up should not be worn to school. Extreme hairstyles are not appropriate for school. The use of styling products should be kept to a minimum and children should not have decorative patterns cut into their hair or have hair coloured or dyed.
Footwear
For health and safety reasons, we do not allow children to wear shoes with platform soles or high heels or open-toed shoes. All children are required to wear plain black shoes without logos as stated in the uniform list.

Lost Property
Over a period of a term, we often accumulate a great deal of unlabelled clothing. You are welcome to come and look for anything which may belong to your child. However, at the end of each term we have no choice but to clear away and remove articles of clothing which have been left in lost property for some time. Children will be informed where lost property is stored and it will be displayed at regular intervals.
