Inappropriate Fashion
Health and Safety regulations about wearing jewellery in school state:
'earrings, ear studs and other jewellery (metal or plastic) must not be worn during sporting activities, P.E., swimming, design technology or food technology lessons'.
Pupils should not wear jewellery in PE lessons.
Children with recently pierced ears should not wear tape over the studs as de-gloving injuries can still occur.
As PE lessons are relatively short, studs should still be removed during the 6 weeks after piercing unless the parent or carer has advised in writing that they cannot be removed due to a medical condition. Adults will not be able to help children with either removing or putting in stud earrings children should be taught at home how to do this independently.
Pupils with pierced ears may wear one pair of simple studs. Nose studs or any other body studs are not permitted.
-
Please avoid jeans/leggings/tracksuit bottoms or similar for schooldays and multi-coloured shorts during the summer.
-
Trainers, including designer trainers, are unsuitable for school use as are shoes with high or elevated heels or flip flops.
-
Any child wearing clothing with an offensive or anti-social logo will be asked to change or cover up the item.
-
No make-up, tattoos or nail varnish to be worn in school.
-
No jewellery except one pair of plain stud earrings.
A simple watch may be worn during lesson times but must be removed for sporting activities, swimming, design technology and food technology. Smart watches must not be worn at any time and must remain at home. Fitbits are acceptable but follow the same rules as a simple watch.
