During PE lessons all long hair should be tied up, nails kept short, and jewellery removed, where possible. Where jewellery cannot be removed such as for medical and/or religious reasons, these need to be made safe.

Earrings should not be worn during PE lessons and parents and pupils must take responsibility for their removal where possible. However, if earrings cannot be removed, then action must be taken to make participation safe (refer to the PE Policy).

Children may wear long trousers, but please be prepared to accept that young children do tend to "go through" the knees. Sensible and comfortable shoes should be worn. Hair styles should be appropriate for school. No beads should be worn in the hair.
