Hair, Make up and Jewellery

Hair

  • Hair must be neat, tidy and of a style acceptable to the school, avoiding extremes of personal appearance. This includes hair colouring and haircuts. Hairstyles should not reflect the extremes of youth culture. Hair colourings should be a natural colour only and hair should be cut no shorter than a ‘Number 1’ grade. Closed shaved hair is not acceptable, this includes full or partial saving.
  • Hair length should be blended and graduated, with no lines or steps cut in.
  • Hair should not be dyed (either permanent or semi-permanent) beyond colours close to natural hair colours (e.g. extreme bleaching and/or red, pink, blue or purple colours). Hair should be only one colour and not a combination of 2 or more complementary or contrasting colours e.g. black hair with blonde streaks would be inappropriate.

  • The expectation is that long hair will be tied and secured away from the face, neck and shoulders when learning activities dictate e.g. sport and practical work in a science laboratory.
  • Hair clips and hair bands and other hair-retaining devices should be plain black in colour.
  • Headscarves should be plain black , and ties must be worn under these at all times.

Make Up and Jewellery

  • Ideally no jewellery should be worn.
  • A watch is permitted.
  • One single plain, flat ring is permitted.
  • One single pair of plain ear studs (not hoops/rings/flesh tunnels) can be worn, one in each ear, bottom lobe, not in other areas of the ears.
  • No other items must be visible.
  • Necklaces and Bracelets in any form are not to be worn. The only exception is the Sikh Kara.
  • Tongue piercings, facial jewellery or similar body piercings must never be worn.
  • Any new piercings/flesh tunnel procedures that require a ‘healing period’ should only take place during school holidays that are long enough to accommodate this healing process.

 

  • All piercings (other than what is allowed as stated above) must be removed and not simply covered up with plasters during school time.
  • No jewellery should be worn during physical education or other practical activities.
  • Ideally no make-up; where this is worn, it should be very light and discreet.
  • Tattoos (permanent or semi-permanent) should not be visible.
  • Coloured nail varnish and false nails are not allowed.
  • No false, acrylic, gel or shellac nails.
  • No false eyelashes.
