Coats

Please make sure in colder weather your child brings a coat to school. They may also wear hats, scarves and gloves.

Haircuts/Grooming/Makeup

Strictly no hair dye or shaved symbols into hair. Long hair must be tied back. No ponytails at the front of the head and please only use plain black/purple/white hairbands and hairclips.
No nail varnish - this also includes nail art, gel polish, acrylics or any type of nail extension.
No make up.
No tattoos (real or rub-on) unless permission given by the school for a finite period of time eg for a week following a fete or disco event at the school.

Jewellery

Analogue or digital watches are permitted - a Smartwatch of any variety must NOT be worn at school.
A simple stud earring in each earlobe is acceptable – no hooped earrings (for health and safety purposes).
No rings, necklaces or bracelets - except for religious purposes (agreed by a member of SLT).

For health and safety reasons earrings are to be removed prior to PE/sport. If your child is unable to remove their own earrings they should not be worn to school on that day. In view of this, if your child is having their ears pierced, this should only be done at the beginning of the summer holidays; thank you for your support in this matter.

Please note:

If your child is wearing an incorrect item of school uniform they may be asked to remove this when on the school site and parents/carers will receive a letter informing them that the Uniform Policy has not been followed and/or spoken to by a member of the class team. The pupil may also be given a correct piece of uniform (from the school ‘preloved’ stock). Please note that PE garments should not have large logos on them (eg Adidas or Nike).
Sweatshirts/cardigans/PE shirts can be purchased at Gray Palmer on the High Street. Plain purple jumpers and plain purple t-shirts can be worn whilst you wait for your order.

We have a large selection of pre-loved items available in school, please speak to the school office in the first instance or email your request to info@st-maryscofe.essex.sch.uk
