OTHER ITEMS:   Jewellery, wrist watches, make-up and hair.

It is dangerous for children to wear jewellery when taking part in any physical activity.  For this reason children must not wear jewellery to school (the only exception is simple, small non-jewelled ear studs).  
Under Public Health England recommendations, teachers cannot be responsible either for helping children remove items of jewellery e.g. earrings, or for looking after items.  Children who cannot remove their own ear studs must not wear them on a day they have indoor or outdoor PE.  No earrings or wrist watches of any type are permitted in the Nursery and Reception classes.    Wrist watches should be small, plain and dark in colour.  Large, colourful wrist watches are not permitted.   Only sensible haircuts are permissible.  Skin-head, Mohican, motif haircuts, dyed hair and coloured extensions and beads are all not permitted.  Children may wear plain beads but these must be tied back. Only small hairbands or clips are permitted to hold hair back, in either black, brown, grey or bottle green.  Nail varnish and make-up MUST NOT be worn.

   
Swimming (KS2):  The children will need to bring a costume or trunks and a towel for their swimming sessions.  A cap will be provided.  Bermuda shorts and bikinis are not allowed.  Please do not bring any kind of body cream or lotion to apply after swimming.

School Book Bags:   A book bag (in which reading books, homework and letters can be kept) is to be brought to school and taken home every day.  All books and equipment must be kept in the book bag.   Backpacks/rucksacks/haversacks are not permitted for all children; all equipment should be kept in the book bag. Children should not bring pencil cases into school.

Hijab : children whose religion requires them to wear a hijab can wear these in white, black, grey or bottle green only.

Protective clothing:  Each child will need an old shirt, or similar, for use during art/craft work.  This can be stored in the classroom and taken home regularly for washing.   

Naming Clothes : It is  essential that you clearly mark each item of clothing with your child’s name so that misplaced items can be returned to the correct child.  Obviously with so many children wearing similar clothing it is impossible to trace unnamed items.
