Make-up

If worn it must be discreet

Jewellery - is not encouraged

This is not part of our uniform so if it is brought to School it remains your responsibility and if worn must be removed for PE. It can be handed to staff, but remains your responsibility at all times.
The ‘Rule of One' - multiple items of jewellery will not be permitted. This means no more than one of each of the following:
A pair of small ear studs - for Health and Safety reasons ear-rings or any other form of earring is not acceptable.
A single necklace - underneath clothes.
A watch.
A single flat ring.
Apart from ear-studs no visible piercings will be permitted.
Extra jewellery may be confiscated for the term.

Coats

Only school coats or a navy blue/black outdoor jacket or coat may be worn on site, however, all jackets must be removed in the building and placed in lockers. Hoodies, tracksuit tops etc are not acceptable anywhere on the Campus. Caps/Hoods are not to be worn indoors.
