Hair

We expect hair to be a single natural colour, neat and tidy; long hair must be tied back with black or blue hair bands, bobbles or clips.

Nails and Ears

We expect pupils with pierced ears to wear plain gold or silver studs (thereby keeping the one hole per ear, open). From primary school onward these will be covered with micropore tape or taken out when necessary, during games lessons. It is important that nails are kept short and clean, and we expect no nail varnish to be worn from Year 1 upwards.

Make up

Make up is prohibited in school, except very discreet make up may be worn in Year 10 and 11. Pupils with indiscreet makeup will be required to remove it before joining lessons.

Jewellery

No rings, bracelets or necklaces are to be worn. No smart watches (ie. Enabled by android or ios) are to be worn

Exceptions

Health requirements, eczema or diabetes for example, will be considered a reason for allowing adaptations to uniform in specific cases.
