School Jumpers

Our school jumpers should be washed without softener and dried naturally, i.e. not on the radiator or in a tumble drier as they will dis-colour and loose their shape if dried in direct heat.

Jewellery

Jewellery is not allowed, this includes pierced earrings. Ear piercing should be done at the start of the summer holidays, this allows 6 weeks healing before school starts. If extra healing time is needed, a letter should be sent to school requesting this.

Please do not have piercing done during the school year.

Hair Styles

For health & Safety reasons, hair braids with beads are not allowed in school. We also actively discourage aggressive and extreme hairstyles EG: gel spikes, shaved head patterns and dyed/bleached hair.

Road safety

Please do not use the staff car park unless you have prior agreement from the school. For example, if you need disabled access. We encourage families to walk to school if possible. If you need to drive to school, please be aware of where you park and the safety of your children as they cross the road. We will do everything possible in school to include road safety awareness as part of the curriculum.
