School Uniform and Health and Safety
All children with long hair should ensure it is tied back whilst they are in school. We discourage children from wearing jewellery to school. Jewellery is easily lost or damaged and more importantly, can cause unpleasant injuries. Children with pierced ears should only wear one pair of small stud earrings which will need to be removed or taped for PE. We cannot accept responsibility for jewellery worn to school.
Hair should be tidy and of a suitable length. If hair is past shoulder-length, it should be tied back off the face and only plain hair accessories please (no novelty hair bands etc). Hair should NOT be dyed bright colours and children should not be wearing make-up to school, including nail polish.
