Here at Oare Church of England Primary School we take pride in looking our best at all times; it shows that we care and that we are ready to learn. We believe that children should come to school in suitable clothes of a smart appearance.
We encourage the wearing of the items listed:

- School polo shirt – sky blue
- School sweatshirt – navy blue
- Grey trousers or shorts
- Ankle socks not trainer socks.
- Black school shoes – not trainers

Sweatshirts, Cardigans, Polo shirts, P.E. t-shirts, P.E bags, Book bags and School Backpacks with the Oare School logo are available from our uniform supplier OHM.
OHM have been taken over by Sunbeam Clothing. Until the new website is set up, we are continuing to use the OHM website. However, to order clothing, please email [email protected] with the item details, including your full name. Orders during Term time can be delivered to school.
Other items of clothing can be obtained from local chain stores. Please make sure your child wears suitable low-heeled footwear (not trainers)
and a change of shoes in wet weather. During showery or cold weather children will need outdoor coats for use at playtimes.
Please ensure ALL uniform items are clearly labelled, including P.E. kit and Wellies! It is part of a child’s education to teach them to look after their property; labelling items supports this. https://www.stikins.co.uk/
P.E. Kit
It is essential for safety reasons that children are properly equipped for PE lessons. Please ensure that your child wears their PE kit to school on the days that they have P.E.
The kit should include:
- Sky blue Oare School t-shirt with school logo
- Navy blue or black P.E. shorts
- Black daps or trainers (no flashing lights or fashion trainers)
- in colder months it is important that the children are dressed appropriately for outdoor P.E. They can wear navy tracksuit tops and bottoms (NO logos or brand names).
Forest School
KS1 Forest School is on a Tuesday afternoon and KS2 Forest School is on a Thursday afternoon. We would like children to wear their school sweatshirt on these days, with either blue or black trousers/jogging bottoms. Children need to have a pair of named wellies in school at ALL TIMES. Please also ensure your child has a warm coat, and in colder weather an extra fleece, hat and gloves.
Second Hand Uniform
Second hand uniforms are available through the school’s PTA. Playground sales are advertised through the school newsletter and the uniform stock is available at any time by request at the school office. All items are priced to be affordable. Donations (especially school logo sweatshirts and cardigans) are always welcome
