Uniform

It is important to us that we have a uniform to be proud of at OMS.

Wearing a uniform creates a group identity for our pupils, which in turn promotes a sense of pride, community and belonging.  Any difference in pupils’ backgrounds and appearance that may otherwise become a distraction to themselves or others is avoided. Insistence on the correct uniform also assists us with the health and safety of pupils.

Below is the list of our compulsory and optional uniform items.

Shoes should be plain black in colour,  leather or leather-look (students should not wear canvas shoes). Footwear should not have any badges or labels. 

Pupils are not permitted to wear make-up of any kind including nail varnish.  Any make-up will be removed. We would appreciate your support with this.

Jewellery is not allowed to be worn in school. All piercings should be removed before school. 

Hairstyles must be sensible and suitable for school and learning and long hair must be tied back.
