Jewellery

Permitted jewellery that may be worn is:

A wrist watch, not a smart watch

Jewellery is the responsibility of the pupil and not the school. Lost or damaged items will not be refunded. All jewellery must be removed during practical lessons, including PE lessons and science experiments.

If a child cannot remove jewellery due to religious reasons, a risk assessment will be undertaken and needs to be agreed and signed by parents.

Hairstyles

The school reserves the right to make a judgement on where pupils’ hairstyles or hair colours are inappropriate for the school environment; however, will ensure that any such judgements do not discriminate against any pupil by virtue of their protected characteristics. Each individual pupil’s scenario will be taken into account where any judgements on appropriateness are to be made, and parents will always have the freedom to complain via the school’s Complaints Procedures Policy.

Pupils with long hair must ensure that this does not impede their vision, cover their face or provide a health and safety risk.

Long hair must be tied up throughout the day.

The following hairstyles are not considered appropriate for school:

Brightly-coloured, dyed hair
Hair dyed in unnatural colours is not permitted
Headwear with bold patterns or colours
Excessive hair accessories

Makeup

The school rules on makeup are as follows:

No nail varnish may be worn
No false nails
No make -up of any description
Temporary tattoos are not permitted

Swimming

Suitable swimming costumes are required during Year 5. This includes a one piece swimsuit for girls, fitted lycra swimming trunks or short shorts for boys (not beach style), goggles (optional) and swimming hat (optional). Please ensure all long hair is tied up and absolutely no jewellery can be worn in the pool. Parents will be notified when your child will be attending swimming.
