Guidance notes – for the purposes of clarification:

Sometimes it is possible for families to purchase items of uniform in good faith and find that they do not necessarily comply with the uniform expectations. This section is intended to help in selecting and purchasing items which are appropriate for students to wear.   

Jewellery may only consist of a watch and 1 pair of sensible earrings (only in the earlobes), no other piercings are permitted.  Bracelets should not be worn.

Nail polish and false nails or nail extensions are not permitted.

Hair must be of a natural colour and not extremely styled. It should be without shaved-in steps, lines or patterns. Hairbands should be discreet.

Belts must be black or grey and not fashion items, with sensible clasps.

Make up should be subtle and hardly visible.

Recognised religious symbols will be permitted but should be worn discreetly. 

Hijabs should be black or dark in colour, such as grey, navy or purple.
