We require all children from Reception to Year 6 to wear uniform as this helps them to identify as being part of our Overthorpe family. We love the fact that our fantastic pupils are recognised as representing Overthorpe when they are out in our community.
Our uniform can be obtained from ‘Rawcliffes’ in Dewsbury www.smartschoolwearcentre.co.uk, who accept Kirklees clothing vouchers. Parents can also order uniform with the school logo online with Myclothing.com. It is also acceptable to buy uniform in the correct school colours from any supermarket chain.
If you require support with providing uniform, or wish to recycle uniform, we run a Uniform Exchange where you can apply for items of "preloved" uniform at no cost. This scheme is open to all, it is not means tested and we would happy to provide you with further information. You can ask for items of clothing, pumps, PE kits, school shoes and coats if required. Speak to your class teacher or the school office.
Details of the uniform policy can be found in the document on this page.
The children in Year 4 go swimming. All children in Year 4 will need a towel and suitable costume (one piece) for girls and trunks (not shorts) for boys on swimming day. They will also need a swimming cap.
