Uniform
We believe that by wearing our school uniform pupils feel a sense of pride and helps to identify the children with our school. Wearing uniform also prevents children from coming to school in fashion clothes that could be distracting in class so makes children feel equal to their peers in terms of appearance. In school we have pre-owned items of school clothing for low prices or alternatively new branded uniform can be bought from Emblematic.

Jewellery
No jewellery is allowed in school for safety reasons other than a wrist watch. Please ensure if your child is having their ears pierced they need to be able to remove any studs for attending school. Any pupils wearing earrings will be asked to have them removed and will not be able to take part in any PE or sports while wearing them. This is to ensure the safety of all of our pupils.
Acrylic nails
Acrylic nails must also not be worn in school. Any pupils wearing acrylic nails will be asked to have them removed and will not be able to take part in any PE or sports while wearing them. This is to ensure the safety of all of our pupils.
'Extreme' haircuts
We do not permit children to have haircuts that could be a distraction to other children such as patterns shaved into the hair, dyed hair or Mohican style haircuts.
This policy will be upheld by the Governing Body without exception.
