Appearance

Children should look smart when wearing their school uniform. Long, shoulder-length hair should be tied back and off the face, particularly during PE lessons and when using some specialist equipment in science, art, food technology, etc. There should also be no extremes of style (e.g.) marks cut into the hair or the use of different colours. Make-up and nail varnish should not be worn.

Jewellery

Children are not allowed to wear jewellery of any description at school, except for watches, earrings and Medic-Alert bracelets. If your child has pierced ears, plain studs must be worn. For Health and Safety reasons, earrings must be removed or covered with plaster or tape for PE and swimming lessons. The school will not be held responsible for any losses of jewellery. 

If you wish your child to wear jewellery for religious reasons, please speak to the Head of School. No other body jewellery should be worn.

Uniform

 All clothing must be clearly marked with your child's name. All children should wear a suitable coat during wet or cold weather.

We are very proud of our school and of our pupils and believe that high standards of uniform, behaviour, being properly equipped and attending regularly give each one of our pupils the very best chance of learning well and achieving their best. Reminder letters will be issued to parents should their child not be in the correct uniform.
