 Jewellery

For Health and Safety reasons the wearing of jewellery is not allowed in school. Children do not need to wear neck chains, bracelets, pendants etc. The only exception to this rule is the wearing of very small studs in ears, though it is important to point out to parents and carers that even these pose a health and safety risk.

In PE children must not wear any jewellery; including stud earrings. It should be removed by the child and replaced by them. Teachers cannot take the responsibility for this.
