Items of jewellery can cause serious accidents.  Therefore, children are asked not to wear jewellery (necklaces, earrings, bracelets, friendship bands) in school for safety reasons.  Watches are permitted.

Children will NOT be allowed to participate in P.E. / Games / Swimming lessons if they are wearing any sort of the above items because of potential injury to themselves or other children.

Watches should be removed and long hair should be tied back for P.E. and Games.  If earrings are left in they must be removed or covered with plasters or tape.

It is recommended that children who have their ears pierced should do so at the beginning of the summer holiday.  This will enable adequate healing time before returning to school at the start of the school year.
