EARRINGS & JEWELLERY
Only small plain gold or silver studs are allowed in school – ear lobes only, one per ear. No jewellery may be worn other than studs (as above). No studs for P.E, games, swimming, adventure trails & all-weather pitch - we would appreciate children not wearing studs on these days. No adult or other child is able to help with studs i.e. each child has to manage it themselves. Tape may not be used to cover earrings under any circumstances.
 
HAIR
When hair is long enough, we request it is tied back all the time, using plain green, black or white hair bands/clips. Hair accessories (in approved colours) should be small and discreet and not cause distraction within the class. Children are not permitted to come to school with patterns, logos or designs shaved into their hair; dyed hair or hair colouring is not permitted; braided hair must not contain coloured thread/ribbon and must not contain beads for health and safety reasons.
No nail varnish. No stick-on tattoos.
WATCHES
Children may wear an inexpensive watch (analogue or digital) to school providing it is not too big or colourful and they are not distracted by wearing it. Smart watches are not permitted in school. Smart watches can cause issues with data protection and data security if these devices are trying to access our school Wi-Fi or have the ability to record and/or capture video or audio.
