Other Considerations
Jewellery
No jewellery is allowed to be worn at school, with the exception of a watch and items that are considered to be acceptable under religions or medical grounds. These must be discussed with the Head Teacher prior to coming to school.
Hair Styles
It is requested by Governors that parents are fully supportive of what Governors deem as being a ‘reasonable’ hairstyle. Governors appreciate individuality and parents varying interpretation of the word ‘reasonable’. Richard Avenue Primary school defines reasonable as:
- no dyed hair
- no extremely short hair
- no excessive beads in braids
- appropriate use of gel
- no tram lines shaved into hair.
Head Scarves
When children are of an appropriate age to wear head scarves, they must be plain red or black in colour.
