- Pupils should not come to school with their hair dyed, shaved, patterned, sculpted or with any styling products applied. Hair should be neat (e.g. not over their face and in their eyes) and presentable. Hair styles should be as simple as possible. Hair should be neat, clean and combed. For health and safety reasons long hair should be tied back out of children’s eyes. Extreme hairstyles and fads that would interfere with the learning process, cause a disruption of the educational environment, or be a Health & Safety hazard are prohibited.
- Children in years 5 and 6 may wear V- necked sleeveless jumpers.
- Pupils should come to school wearing black flat school shoes (not wearing trainers).
- Plaits (maximum of 2 only) with clips or bobbles are acceptable, but nothing else should be attached or woven into hair. Plain blue or black clips can be used to retain hair. If hair is tied back a small, plain blue, black or brown bobble or hair band should be used.
- Jewellery, make up, including nail varnish should not be worn.
The following items are particularly important for Health & Safety reasons:
- Pupils may come to school wearing a small plain stud, one in each ear. This is of course at your own risk; the school would prefer children not to wear any ear rings. NOTE these must be taken out for P.E. activities and active games e.g. football in the yard, either by the child or the parent.
- Pupils should not wear high heels or shoes with very thick soles.
- No body piercing.
- Hair which is over the collar should be tied back.
