HAIR STYLES

We endeavour to present ourselves in a moderate way, avoiding extremes, this includes hair styles. Ultra modern hair cuts are considered to be inappropriate. We ask for your co-operation.

MARKING OF CLOTHES

To assist in tracing lost property, please ensure that all articles are clearly marked with your child's name. The school is not insured for loss of personal property. Lost property is kept by Mrs Hammond to whom children should go for lost items.

Whilst every effort is made to trace lost property, valuable time can be wasted if it is not clearly marked.

SCHOOL BAGS

A school bag is available from www.yourschooluniform.com.

JEWELLERY, WATCHES, EARRINGS

In the interests of the children's safety, we ask you to co-operate by not sending your children to school wearing jewellery of any kind. During a busy and active school day there is always a risk that children could be injured by sharp edges on earrings, rings and chains. We have advised that earrings should not be worn during PE and Swimming Lessons. Earrings may not be worn in these particular lessons.

Juniors only are permitted to wear watches.
