Jewellery, other than a wristwatch and stud ear-rings, is not permitted. Earings must not be worn on days when the child has PE unless the child can remove their own earings.

Dyed, shaved and ‘sculptured’ hairstyles are not acceptable; neat and tidy hairstyles are expected, with long hair being tied back Hair accessories should be simple and in keeping with school uniform colours – navy, blue, grey, black or white.
