We would also point out that:

  • Make-up, temporary tattoos and nail polish are not allowed in school.
  • Flip-flops and fabric shoes are not permitted to be worn in school
  • Long hair should be tied back.
  • Jewellery should not be worn in school because such items can be easily lost or damaged and, more importantly, can cause unpleasant injuries.  If your child’s ears are pierced please see that they only wear small studs which cannot be caught in clothing, causing torn earlobes.  When doing PE, all earrings must be covered up by tape that parents/carers must supply, or your child needs to be able to remove their earrings themselves.  This is the responsibility of parents/carers. 

 

 

Uniform Flexibility and Reasonable Adjustments

The school is committed to ensuring that its uniform policy is inclusive and accessible to all pupils. Reasonable adjustments to the uniform requirements will be considered where necessary to accommodate a pupil's disability, special educational needs, medical condition, religion or belief, gender reassignment, or other protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010.

Parents and carers who wish to discuss an adjustment to the uniform policy should contact the school. Requests will be considered on an individual basis and in a sensitive and supportive manner.

Uniform Choices

The school provides a range of approved uniform options. Pupils may wear any of the approved items that are appropriate, comfortable and suitable for school activities. The school aims to ensure that all pupils feel included and able to participate fully in school life.

Religious and Cultural Requirements

The school recognises and respects the religious and cultural needs of its pupils. Where a pupil's religion, belief or cultural background requires particular clothing, head coverings, jewellery, hairstyles or other forms of dress, the school will work with parents and carers to accommodate these requirements wherever possible, provided that health, safety and safeguarding requirements can be met.

Hair and Appearance

Hair should be neat, clean and appropriate for school. Long hair should be tied back where necessary for safety, practical or hygiene reasons, particularly during physical education, practical activities and when otherwise directed by staff.

The school will not discriminate against pupils on the basis of race, religion or belief, disability, gender reassignment or any other protected characteristic when applying its appearance requirements.

Jewellery

Jewellery should not normally be worn in school because such items can be easily lost or damaged and can cause injury. Small stud earrings may be worn in pierced ears.

The school will consider requests to wear jewellery or artefacts required for religious or cultural reasons and, where appropriate, will agree suitable arrangements that maintain health and safety standards.

Physical Education and Earrings

For health and safety reasons, pupils should remove earrings before taking part in PE wherever possible. Where earrings cannot be removed, parents/carers should discuss appropriate arrangements with the school. Any agreed arrangements will be subject to the school's PE health and safety procedures and risk assessments.

Extreme Weather

The school may make temporary adjustments to uniform requirements during periods of extreme weather. This may include permitting alternative clothing, removing requirements for jumpers or sweatshirts, or allowing additional layers and suitable outdoor clothing. Any temporary changes will be communicated to parents and carers.
