Very long hair should be tied back and hair should be kept out of children’s eyes at all times. Hair accessories should be minimal and should reflect academy colours. Hair pieces and large accessories should not be worn.

Jewellery

The wearing of jewellery, with the exception of one pair of plain ear studs and a watch, is not allowed for health and safety and administrative reasons. All jewellery must be removed for PE and swimming lessons. We urge you not to allow your child to have their ear(s) pierced during term time.

Any form of jewellery presents health and safety risks, including: rings, necklaces and bracelets – and therefore, should not be worn.

The wearing of religious items or symbols is permitted, but must still be removed for PE and swimming lessons.
