At Onchan School we wish to project a very smart look and take our appearance

seriously. We believe that by dressing in a similar way our pupils develop a strong

sense of identity and feel proud to be a part of our school.

Our school uniform consists of a royal blue sweatshirt worn over a white polo shirt and

black trousers/skirt or pinafore. Blue cardigans and/or fleeces are an optional

alternative.

In summer many of the girls wear a blue and white gingham dress with a blue cardigan.

The children should wear wherever possible black, flat school shoes which are

considered ideal footwear for running around the playground at playtimes!

Trainers are NOT considered appropriate for school on a daily basis and should be

kept for outside PE activities. We do appreciate that there can, over the year, be

occasions when laces get broken, shoes get damaged etc and it may be necessary to

wear trainers- a short note into school or a phone call is appreciated. We are very

proud of our school smart identity.

Children should always wear a waterproof jacket/coat into school during the colder

months.

We ask that all of our children bring into school an indoor PE kit and an outdoor PE kit.

The Indoor PE kit consists of a white crew neck T shirt, navy shorts and black pumps.

The outdoor PE kit should be a tracksuit, or joggers and a suitable top for outdoor

wear with a pair of trainers.

If your child takes part in swimming with the school, all girls require a one-piece

swimming costume, whilst boys must wear fitted swimming trunks rather than the

bermuda short style. All children with longer hair MUST wear a swimming hat.

All items of clothing do need to be named, you will be surprised just how many

sweatshirts are misplaced over a year along with coats, hats and gloves etc!
