Safety

Jewellery, other than small stud earrings and watches, is not allowed in school. Pupils wearing watches should remove them during P.E. sessions for personal safety (It may be helpful to leave them at home on P.E. days.) Pupils who wear a headdress for cultural or religious reasons must tuck them in safely during P.E. Hair which is shoulder length or longer should be tied back for hygiene and safety reasons.

Make up

Pupils are expected to attend school ready to study and without noticeable make up e.g. long, false or brightly coloured nails, false eyelashes or heavy mascara, lipstick. This is not appropriate for the school day.

All items of clothing MUST have the child's name inside. Items of lost property are then easier to reunite with their owners.
