No jewellery, (except watches) nail varnish or make up should be worn in school. If children have pierced ears, only plain studs (not rings) are acceptable and they need to be removed for P.E. or covered with tape. No hair colours should be worn and long hair should be tied back, in the interests of health and safety, using ribbons etc in school colours. Hair styles should not be extreme in appearance nor of an outrageous fashion or design.
