We make every effort to maintain a full educational service, but on some occasions circumstances arise which lead to disruption. Schools may be affected by, for example, severe weather, temporary interruption of transport, power failures or difficulties of fuel supply. In such cases, we shall do all we can to let you know about the details of our closure or re-opening by using letters, texts and the local media etc. School Uniform We have a flexible response to school uniform, acknowledging that many of the children in our community attend more than one primary school over P1—7. Oakgrove’s school uniform is: Grey or black trousers/skirt White polo shirt or shirt Navy blue jumper/cardigan A school tie is available A change of shoes should remain in school to be worn indoors only. Sweatshirts, cardigans, polo shirts and ties with the school logo are available for purchase from: Our uniform was agreed in consultation with pupils and parents. A uniform Swap Shop is available at the main entrance and we are happy to support families in ensuring children have access to school uniform. PE Kit It is important that pupils come prepared to learn and for PE this requires appropriate clothing. All jewellery should be removed. Pupils who are not participating in PE must have a note or a medical certificate. Pupils who are unable to participate in practical PE should still bring their kit to allow them to assist in the lesson by refereeing, keeping scores or assisting with the distribution of equipment. This ensures that they are still able to take part in some way in the work of the class and do not miss out on the knowledge and understanding of the course. There are forms of dress that are unacceptable in school, such as items of clothing which: Potentially encourage factions (such as football colours) Could cause offence (such as anti-religious symbolism or political slogans) Could cause health and safety difficulties (such as loose fitting clothing, jewellery) Could cause damage to flooring Carry advertising particularly for alcohol or tobacco Could be used to inflict damage on other pupils School meals
