Hair colour and styles

While ‘extreme’ fashion styles are restricted, protective styles such as braids, locs and twists are recognised as essential for students with Afro-textured hair and are fully permitted.  This ensures ourschool environment is a place where every child feels a sense of belonging and where cultural identity is respected.  Hair should be of a natural colour.

We recognise that hair is a signficant part of a student’s ethnic and cultural identity.  Our policy does not discriminate against natural hair or protective styles.

• Permitted styles: We welcome and permit all natural hair textures and protective styles.  This includes, but is not limited to: Afros, Braids, Cornrows, Locs, Twists and Bantu Knots.
• Maintenance: Hair should be kept neat and tidy for health and safety (e.g. tied back during PE)
• The Halo Code: Our school proudly adopts the ‘Halo Code’ explicitly protecting students who wear their in natural or protective styles.

Novelty headbands such as ‘cat ears’ or ‘unicorn horns’ are not permitted, along with the wearing of large bows as they can be distracting during lessons.  Please note that hair wraps, holiday braids and any colourful cotton threads or beads attached to the hair are strictly prohibited under the school uniform policy.

Nails

Children are not allowed to wear false nails/nail extensions in school due to health and safety.  Nails may not be painted during school times and must be totally natural.

Jewellery

On grounds of health and safety, children are permitted to wear a standard watch (which should be removed for PE) and one pair of stud earrings. These should be removed for PE as taping is not permitted.  School accepts no responsibility for loss or damage to earrings or watches.
