Jewellery
The school follows Health and Safety regulations set down by the Local Authority.
In line with our ethos of respecting all faiths, we recognise that some parents may wish their children to wear jewellery in accordance with their cultural beliefs and practice. We would respectfully ask that parents consider the Health and Safety implications and take on full liability for any incidents that may occur whilst in school. For safety reasons, we ask that rings, bracelets and necklaces are not worn in school.
If children have had their ears pierced, only studs can be worn. If a child comes to school in hooped earrings, they will be asked to removed them. If they are unable to do this, parents will be informed that a member of staff who is first aid trained will remove them and keep them safe until the end of the school day. Hooped earrings must not be worn in school.
By following this guidance, we also hope to avoid the added problems of loss.
It is very important that all items of clothing are named.
