PERSONAL APPEARANCE

Children should arrive at school clean and tidy, and take pride in their appearance. Hairstyles should not be extreme and hair should not be coloured or bleached.  Boys' hair should not be cropped too close to the scalp.  Boys' and girls' hair, if long, should be tied back in lessons.  Nail varnish, cosmetics and jewellery or accessories should not be worn in school.  In the very rare event children so not to comply with the requirements there may be consequences for their choice and they could be sent home.

Jewellery is not appropriate to school life, and in some cases represents a safety hazard.  A watch is useful, but no earrings, rings or other jewellery/accessories should be worn.  A single pair of plain gold ear studs (NOT earrings) is accepted but must be removed for P.E.  No form of body piercing other than the above is acceptable.

Water Policy:  We encourage children to bring only water to school in clear, labelled bottles with a sports top.  They can be used in lessons and refilled at break.

EQUIPMENT LIST

It would be very helpful if you could provide the following for your child in September and during the year.

Please ensure all items are clearly marked with your child's name.

PERSONAL PROPERTY

All clothing and kit should be marked with the student's name.  No responsibility can be taken if items are lost but we will endeavour to find them.

MOBILE PHONES

Children are not allowed mobile phones in school:  they are a source of major distraction and peer rivalry, and the school cannot be responsible for them.  If it is important for a child to have a mobile at the end of school it must be left with the school office during the day.

MEDICINES

It is only with express written information by parents that children are to take any form of medicine during school hours and these should be given in to the School Office at the start of the day. If a child requires medication to be kept in school on a permanent basis, i.e. inhalers or epi pens, these should be given in to the School Office, they will be locked in the medicine cabinet in the First Aid Room for use when required.
