• Students will be allowed to wear tailored knee length black shorts in the second half of the summer term, after the May half – term holiday. These shorts are unisex and are only available from Stevenson’s.

Jewellery and Hair

Jewellery should be limited to a watch and a pair of stud earrings. Dangly earrings and facial piercings are not allowed, neither are bracelets, bangles or other kinds of jewellery. Students will be expected to remove piercings. The excuse that they may heal up will not be accepted. Parents and students should consider this if they decide to get noses, tongues or chins pierced towards the end of a holiday or during term-time.

Hairstyles should be sensible and not extreme. Hair should not stand out from the norm or attract undue interest.

School staff may well insist that students tie back very long hair when carrying out practical tasks.

Hair needs to be one natural colour. Two-tone hair is unacceptable as are extreme colours. Once again, parents and students should be aware that colouring hair at the end of a holiday cannot be used as an excuse on a student’s return to school and the student faces the prospect of isolation.

Hair bands, ribbons should be discreet and not extreme.

Tram lines or other shaved shapes in the hair or eyebrows are not permitted

School staff will decide what is discreet when considering hair and jewellery.

Make up should be minimal and students may well be asked to remove excessive make – up or lipstick.

Students should not wear nail varnish and acrylic/ false nails are not allowed. Students are asked to ensure their nails are not excessively long.
