Jewellery  

No jewellery should be worn to school. Studs or sleepers for children with pierced ears are allowed, but County Regulations and Guidelines now state that jewellery of any kind (including earrings and earstuds) is removed for physical education because of the danger of injury to the wearer and/or other pupils in the class. Whenever possible children should be able to remove their own jewellery before a P.E. lesson. Where this is not possible parents should ensure that jewellery is not worn on days when P.E. activities take place. If you plan to have your child’s ears pierced, it would be helpful for this to take place at the start of the summer holiday so that the time is available before earrings can be removed. If necessary, however, studs in newly pierced ears may be protected by plaster tape supplied by parents.
