Tattoos & Nail Varnish are not considered appropriate for school.

No Jewellery Policy

We do not allow children to wear jewellery in school on health and safety grounds. Covering earrings with tape gives a perception of safety but it is not recommended. If a parent chooses to cover their child’s ears with tape, this must be done before school and in the knowledge that this does not comply with our policy.

Staff will not be able to remove earrings or cover them for children during the school day. 

We acknowledge that piercings take time to heal and this can be up to six weeks. We therefore advise that parents who are considering having their child’s ears pierced, get this done at the beginning of the summer holidays.

An exceptional circumstance may arise for items of a religious nature. Where this is the case, parents should contact the school office directly with further information.

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.
