No Jewellery Policy

For safety and security reasons children should not wear jewellery in school.

Earrings must not be worn.

If a child has recently had their ears pierced, they may wear tape over the earrings (small studs only) for a maximum of 6 weeks while the piercings heal. After this period, earrings must be removed before coming to school.

Tape must be applied to cover earrings.

During the healing period, staff may have to adapt their participation in PE due to safety guidelines.

We strongly recommend that any ear piercings take place at the start of the summer holidays, to avoid disruption to school activities.

In exceptional circumstances involving religious jewellery, please contact the school office to discuss further.

If a parent chooses to use spacers or retainers they must be a stud shape and flat so as not to cause damage if a blow or ball hits the side of the head.

The school strongly recommends that for P.E. earrings be taken out. If parents choose to tape the earrings instead for P.E. then it is that parent’s responsibility if an accident involving the earrings were to happen.

Hairstyles & Hairbands

Hair should be appropriate for school with no extreme styling. Shirley Heath considers this to be no decorative shaving; no sharp contrast between shaved sides and longer top and no use of gel to spike hair upwards. For health and safety reasons, long hair needs to be tied back during the school day. Hairbands can be worn but please ensure they do not have attachments to them and are in keeping with the school uniform.
