Hair must be of natural colour and long hair must be tied up at all times throughout the school day, including in PE sessions and on non-uniform days. Headbands should be plain, novelty headbands or accessories are not permitted.
Earrings must be removed for PE before coming to school. If earrings are not removed, children will need to have micropore tape to cover their studs. Children should be able to apply this themselves.
Please note that we only allow children to wear one pair of small studs in their ears.
Other jewellery - children may wear a watch if you wish. Watches must not be of high value or cause disruption (no games, timers etc). Watches must be removed for PE sessions.
No other jewellery should be worn and costume jewellery is not permitted.
Pupils with Additional Needs
We understand that some children may require adjustments due to additional needs. We will make arrangements with individual families in these circumstances. Please contact the SENCO should you have any queries.
