Jewellery Policy

Rationale
Occasionally pupils wear personal items to school, which constitute a health and safety hazard.The following recommendations are in line with our Health and Safety Policy and the “Safe Practice in Physical Education” document, and reflect our commitment to the safety of all in our school.

Policy

• The wearing of jewellery is discouraged with the exception of:
  • A ring
  • A watch
  • One pair of stud-type earrings in the ear lobe
• No studs or rings may be worn in any other part of the body
• During outdoor sporting activities, PE or playtime, children should remove all jewellery, eg watches, rings, earrings etc.
• Some hair accessories can be hazardous in an activity which involves physical contact. Hair decorations should be simple and practical.
• Teachers will regularly check that these guidelines are being observed and complied with.
• The responsibility for the safe-keeping of jewellery rests with the pupil.

The help, support and cooperation of parents in implementing this policy is greatly appreciated. It has been written with the safety of your child in mind.
