Uniform
Students attending Oakwood are our ambassadors and are expected to dress and behave in a way that reflects the standards we seek to achieve.
The uniform should be smart with all items clearly marked. If students are unable to wear the uniform for any reason the school must be notified in writing by the parents. Under no circumstances will we tolerate clothing or hairstyles which reflect adolescent cults. School uniform can be purchased online, or by appointment only, from Your Image Limited. View our New uniform expectations presentation and read the uniform standards letter and see the required uniform listed below.

PE Department
During your son/daughter's time at Oakwood, their lessons will consist of many different activities.
It is important that students remember to bring the CORRECT KIT. A towel is optional to allow students to shower should they wish to at the end of each P.E. lesson.
Kit left in the changing rooms will be collected at the end of the day and treated as lost property. This may be claimed from the P.E. staff.
During ALL lessons the changing rooms are locked, and valuables can be given to a member of staff and placed in a safe locker. It is advisable to leave valuable items at home.
Students excused on medical grounds must provide a letter from a parent on the day this is acceptable for the first FOUR weeks, after which a medical certificate should be provided.
