Orchard Park Community Primary School

School Uniform at Orchard Park CP School

We have a school uniform at Orchard Park, and we ask that all children wear it each day. Uniform helps create a sense of community and pride in our school.

How to Order Uniform

Uniform can be purchased through the Arbor App. To use Arbor, please make sure you’ve registered and downloaded the app on your smartphone.

Once you’ve made payment, your child’s uniform will be sent home with them. Please note that if an item is out of stock, it may take up to three weeks to arrive.

Uniform Items

Royal blue sweatshirt or cardigan (with or without the school logo) White or pale blue polo shirt (also available with the school logo) White shirt or blouse Grey trousers, skirt, or pinafore dress Black shoes (sensible and comfortable)

Uniform for Warmer Weather

• Grey school-style shorts

• Blue and white gingham summer dress

PE Kit

Please make sure your child has their PE kit in school Monday to Friday each week.

• Plain white t-shirt

• Plain black shorts

• Black tracksuit bottoms or leggings (for colder weather)

• Trainers (for outdoor use)

• Socks

• A named PE bag

Earrings and Jewellery

We discourage the wearing of earrings in school. However, if your child does wear them:

• Only small, plain gold or silver studs are allowed

• No hoops, dangly earrings, or multiple piercings

• Earrings must be removed for PE and swimming

• Tape/plasters over earrings are not allowed (in line with national safety guidelines)

Tip: If your child plans to get their ears pierced, please do this at the start of the summer holidays so they can fully heal before school resumes.

Staff are not allowed to remove earrings for children — they must be able to do this themselves.

Watches

Children may wear a simple watch, but smart watches or watches connected to mobile phones are not permitted.

What Not to Wear

For health, safety, and school policy reasons, the following items are not allowed:

• Make-up or cosmetics

• Nail varnish, gel nails, or false nails

• Jeans

• Hooded tops (hoodies) – these must be removed indoors

• Sportswear with logos or branding

• Flip-flops or sandals without backs

• Boots or shoes with high heels

Labelling Clothing

Please label all clothing and personal items with your child’s name. This helps us return lost items quickly.

If you have any questions about uniform or ordering, please contact the School Office — we're happy to help!
