Footwear

All footwear must be black leather look shoes with no logos, discernible markings i.e. logos etc, and with black soles.  Children should not wear heels, boots, backless sandals or canvas shoes.  Boots are any footwear which extends beyond the ankle.  Should any pupil come to school in footwear which does not conform to the uniform policy, we reserve the right to change pupils into school provided plimsolls.

 

Jewellery

For Health and Safety reasons we do not allow children to wear jewellery in school. The exceptions to this rule are one pair of plain earring studs in pierced ears, jewellery of a religious nature, a watch and MedicAlert bracelets.

Stud earrings should be removed or recently pierced ears should be taped over with a plaster / micro-pore tape (provided by parents) for PE and swimming and watches removed to prevent them causing injury.  Note: staff will not put earring studs, etc. back in if the child cannot manage it.

 

Hair

Hairstyles should be reasonable and appropriate for being in a learning environment at school.  Extreme hairstyles would include shaved patterns in the scalp, Mohicans and unnaturally coloured dyes. Such hairstyles are not acceptable at school.  Hair should not be shaven shorter than a number 2.  All children, girls and boys, are required to have their hair tied back, if long enough, for PE, DT and cookery lessons.  Hairbands and hair ties etc should be plain with no flowers, bows or other embellishments.

 

Birthdays and non-uniform

We like to recognise and celebrate children’s birthdays at Southway knowing that it means so much to them so as a birthday treat children will be allowed to wear non-uniform on their birthday in school.  If their birthday falls on a weekend or during the holidays, children may wear non-uniform on the closest school day to their birthday.  Children should not wear any shirts / sweatshirts with slogans and / or images which may cause offense, short skirts and bare-midriffs are not permitted.

 

As regards the school logo, as long as your child wears the correct school colours we do not insist on having the school logo.  However, the items do have to be completely plain and free of any other logo/brand name.
