Uniform Information

School Uniform

Hair bands and hairstyles

We encourage all children to tie their hair back if length allows using red or gingham hair bands or headbands where possible. This prevents the spread of headlice.

Children should come to school with natural hair colours (unless it is a special dress-up day). This is to prepare them for expectations once they attend secondary school.

 

Jewellery

No jewellery should be worn other than plain stud earrings which need to be removed for PE.

We recommend that ear-piercing is done at the beginning of the Summer holiday so children can come to school without their earrings to avoid worries on PE days.
