Our School Uniform Policy & Guidance 

At Selly Oak we have consulted with our students and together we have made our school uniform choices as simple as possible. We always want our students to look smart, feel comfortable and take pride in their appearance. To help them do this we have some straightforward options for them to choose from. 

REQUIRED 

All students in Year 7-11 must wear black trousers or skirt, white shirt or white polo shirt, black socks or tights (in winter months) and all black shoes or trainers. Our PE kit is a black t-shirt, black shorts or joggers, black sweatshirt and black trainers or gym shoes. 

OPTIONAL 

All students can then choose to wear a black blazer and school tie (purchased from school only) with their white shirt. Students who choose to wear a white polo shirt can also choose to wear a black V-neck jumper but do not need to wear a tie or blazer. 

OUR SCHOOL UNIFORM

OUR PE KIT

On the days our students are timetabled for PE or Sports options they can wear their PE kit all day. 

All of our uniform choices are unbranded so parents and carers can purchase from a retailer of their choice or purchase nearly new/second hand items. Parents and carers can also access free uniform from Rubery Swap Shop a local charity supplying free unbranded, second hand uniform. 

We know some students find it difficult to wear parts of our uniform because of their sensory or motor needs. We will always make reasonable adjustments, and parents & carers can call school to discuss uniform options with their child’s Pastoral Support Lead (PSL) or Head of School.  

Parents and carers can also look at some different uniform adaptations sourced by our Occupational Therapy Team including some supportive items to alleviate sensory issues (click here www.sellyoak.bham.sch.uk/Getting-Dressed/ )
