At Trinity Oaks we choose to have a uniform and believe that it:

• Promotes a sense of pride in our school

• Helps to create a sense of community and belonging

• Supports our commitment to inclusion

• Should be smart and practical

• Should be good value for money

Our distinctive logo is a triquetra symbolising the Holy Trinity set in a heart. ‘The school in the heart of the community’. Our school colours are burgundy and yellow/gold worn with grey and white.

The role of parents

We ask for the support of parents to ensure that children have the correct uniform in good repair and that every item of clothing is named. If any parent has difficulty meeting this request they are asked to speak to us confidentially.

The school welcomes children from all backgrounds and faith communities. If there are serious reasons, for example on religious grounds, why parents want their child to wear clothes different to the school uniform, the school will consider such requests sympathetically. Please speak to the headteacher about this.

• All items need to be named so they can easily be returned if lost.

• Long hair should be tied back. Hair fastenings/accessories should be small and match the school uniform colours. No large bows or flowers please.

• The use of hair styling products should be kept to a minimum. Children should not have decorative patterns cut into hair or have hair coloured or dyed. Hair extensions are not appropriate for Primary aged children.

• No jewellery should be worn. If children have pierced ears they should wear simple studs or sleepers. Ear rings have to be removed or covered for PE for health and safety reasons.

• Watches should be small and simple in design. Smart watches are not permitted at school for safeguarding reasons.

• Nail varnish and make up should be removed for school. We will also ask parents to remove children’s tattoos/transfers if they are visible.

• Children should wear shoes. Boots are not suitable inside classrooms
