U N I T Y COLLEGE

Oathall Community College

Oathall is a “uniform” school. All students wear uniform without exception. Auniform helps to give unity and identification to a school; it can make less obviousthe different circumstances of families and is a protection for both parents andstudents from the temptations of temporary extremes of fashion. Those parentswho might experience financial difficulties should not hesitate to contact theCollege. The College would see it as reasonable for a particular item orappearance to be allowed if it is a requirement of a faith or culture. This would beunless the item or appearance compromises the learning or health of the student orothers. We are grateful to parents for their full support in seeing that highstandards are maintained in the wearing of uniform. Our students haveconsiderable pride in the membership of this College: their co-operation withparents in this matter is indicative of that feeling.

All students are expected to be in full uniform each day and the College reservesthe right to decide when an item of uniform or appearance does not conform toour policy. We ask parents to provide a written note or contact a student’s grouptutor if there is a temporary problem with uniform or appearance. Where noreasonable grounds exist students can expect a consequence which may involvebeing provided with a correct item of uniform for the day or with parents’knowledge and approval being requested to return home to change, with missedschool time being made up. Refusal by students to comply with such requests orpersistently not abiding to our uniform expectations can be subject to formalCollege sanctions.

In order to comply with our policy we recommend that standard uniform items notpurchased from our preferred uniform suppliers are bought from the schooluniform departments of high street retailers or supermarkets and not from fashionretailers.
