Further Information

Secondary School Uniform

The school work in full compliance and in accordance with the DFE Guidance in respect of school uniform, we also believe that children work better and have more sense of belonging if they are in uniform, and we ask for your support as parents/carers with this. Parents/carers certainly find uniform easier than endless daily arguments about what is going to be worn. We have tried to keep uniform simple and smart.

Hairstyles

Parents are asked to ensure that their children do not come to school with unusual hairstyles (e.g. close cropped, particularly shaved hair is not acceptable) neither is hair of contrasting length or colour. Please note that a barbers 'number 2' (6mm) shaved cut is the shortest allowed. Parents are requested to seek advice from school if in doubt, before following a particular fashion.

Pierced Ears

In the interests of Health and Safety, students with pierced ears should wear a small plain stud, not earrings. (No more than one stud should be worn in each ear) Studs must be removed prior to taking in part in PE lessons and physical activities. The taping of ears is not allowed. We therefore, strongly advise any students wishing to have their ears pierced, do so at the very start of the summer holiday to enable studs to be easily removed. No other piercings are allowed.

*Please note that children may be sent home if they wear items which contravene school policy*

Make-up and Nail Varnish

Make-up, nor nail varnish or acrylic nails should not be worn, staff ask that it is removed if students arrive at school wearing it.

Jewellery

For safety reasons the only items of jewellery allowed in school are small stud earrings. Other jewellery should not be worn in school. This includes bracelets, rings, necklaces, brooches, earrings, nose or eyebrow studs (please refer to the paragraph entitled 'pierced ears'; no other piercings are allowed.
