Labelling
All clothes must be clearly labelled.
Watches & Jewellery
No jewellery, except earrings should be worn in school, unless the jewellery is for religious reasons. We really discourage parents from sending children to school with earrings, particularly in Year R and Year 1 where children’s learning is more active. If your child does have pierced ears, the studs must be plain metal (gold or silver).
When children do PE they should not wear earrings on that day, but may cover them with plasters if it is not possible to remove the studs. If you wish your child to have pierced ears, please arrange this at the beginning of the Summer break.
Watches can be worn, but not any kind of watch that connects to the internet or can take photos. We encourage you to choose an analogue watch (with hands) as this will help them to learn how to tell the time.
