ALL UNIFORM NEEDS TO BE LABELLED.
- Jewellery - NO JEWELLERY
Basic Health and Safety principles recommend that children do not wear any jewellery at all to school.
Accordingly, School policy is no jewellery of any sort to be worn. Parents are asked to comply with this instruction for the safety of their child and others.
If parents persist in children wearing jewellery AGAINST SCHOOL RULES AND ALL ADVICE GIVEN, then they must know that staff are not allowed to touch jewellery and particularly earrings.
If a child has had ears pierced they cannot participate in school PE unless parents fully cover the ears with sticky plasters or remove the earrings first.
Chains around necks or other body parts are not acceptable in any circumstances.
Children are not allowed to wear jewellery of any kind in the baths or in PE lessons.
The school cannot accept any responsibility for jewellery or accidents caused to a child not obeying the Governors' advice (as above).
- Hair
The Governors ask that hair should be tidy and appropriate to the age of children in a primary school. Any child with long hair is asked to tie it back on a daily basis to prevent the spread of head lice and also as a health and safety measure in PE, cooking, science, role play etc.
The Governors would prefer that hair is not dyed as this is inappropriate to a growing child’s welfare and that the hair style is not such that they will be marked as different to friends and subject to comment about their hair. Sculptured marks into shaved boys’ heads are particularly discouraged.
The swimming baths insist that all children have hair tied back or fully covered by a swimming hat.
