Newsflash

Please note: The school day is temporarily changing to 8.20am – 2.40pm from the 11th March until 28th March.

Uniform must be worn in school, to and from school and at official functions organised by the school.  We believe that with ALL pupils in uniform, we can best reach those objectives of substantial achievement in an orderly atmosphere.  Furthermore the appearance and general conduct of pupils makes an impression on the community and parents are asked to co-operate in ensuring that this impression is a favourable one.

Outdoor coats are not to be worn inside the school.  Parents are asked to buy only blue or black outdoor coats.  Trainers are only acceptable for PE.  Caps, hoodies and denim jackets are not allowed on school premises.

Hairstyles and Colouring

Parents should be aware that we do not permit extremes of fashion in pupils’ hairstyles or dress.  Added hair colours must be natural and subtle (bright colours, including shades of red, and dip dying, are not permitted).  Hair braiding is only acceptable without beads or accessories.  Close shaved heads and patterns cut into hair or eyebrows are not acceptable.  Very short hairstyles or extreme hairstyles (e.g. where some hair is very short and the rest isn’t) are not acceptable.  Pupils who have shoulder-length hair or longer may be required to tie it back for Health and Safety reasons if it obscures the face.

Jewellery, Make-up and Valuables

Make-up is not acceptable.

The school has a no Jewellery policy. Health and Safety and security considerations mean that items of jewellery are not permissible.

Watches should be removed for practical lessons when necessary or any lesson where they may pose a danger.  Individual subject teachers will make the decision.

The school cannot accept any responsibility for the loss of valuables.

No facial or body piercing is permitted for Health & Safety reasons.

The school will temporarily confiscate inappropriate items of jewellery and valuables.

If a pupil persistently ignores these rules, the school will employ further sanctions (please also see Exclusion Policy).
