Jewellery
Southway Junior School recognises that some children may wear jewellery for religious, medical or personal reasons. Stud-like earrings are acceptable. Overtly large, dangly jewellery is not accepted as this can cause risk to the child wearing it and their peers. All jewellery is expected to be removed for PE lessons unless exemption is given by the Headteacher on an individual basis. Smart watches that connect to the internet or take photos are not permitted to be worn at all. Recently pierced ears should be taped over with a plaster / micro-pore tape (provided by parents) for PE and swimming and watches removed to prevent them causing injury.
Note: staff will not put earring studs etc. back in if the child cannot manage it
Hair
Hairstyles should be reasonable and appropriate for being in a learning environment at school. Extreme hairstyles which include shaved patterns in the scalp or unnaturally coloured dyes are not acceptable at school. All children, are required to have their hair tied back, if long enough, for PE, DT and cookery lessons. Hairbands and hair ties etc. should be plain with no flowers, bows or other embellishments.
Make-up
Make-up is not acceptable under any circumstances, including nail varnish. Fake tattoos are not
appropriate at school and must be removed without trace.
Birthdays and non-uniform
We like to recognise and celebrate children’s birthdays at Southway knowing that it means so much to them. As a birthday treat, children will be allowed to wear non-uniform on their birthday in school. If their birthday falls on a weekend or during the holidays, children may wear non-uniform on the closest school day to their birthday. Children should not wear any shirts / sweatshirts with slogans and / or images which may cause offence. Short skirts and bare-midriffs are not permitted.
