Luxulyan School Uniform Policy

Uniform is very important and we expect all parents to support our policy – all pupils are required to wear school uniform.

The uniform consists of: - A bottle green top embroidered with the Luxulyan School logo (preferred) A plain bottle green top as below is also acceptable. Parents may choose from the various styles as follows: o Full zip fleece o Sweatshirt – crewneck or V neck o Sweat cardigan o Cardigan - Grey or black trousers or skirts/pinafores - White shirts/blouses or polo shirts (long or short sleeved) – but not T-shirts - For summer: children may wear formal (not casual) grey/black shorts instead of long trousers, and girls may also wear checked/striped green and white dresses - School shoes need to be black. No boots. Trainers are not to be worn, except for PE. Sandals can be worn in the warmer weather – but not ‘flip-flop’ types, ‘Reefs’ or ‘Crocs’, as they are not suitable for the school environment.

Please note: tight skirts, long baggy trousers, high heels or fashion sandals are not suitable. Trainers should only be worn for sporting activities.

For PE children will require a t-shirt (currently ordered from the school), black shorts and plimsolls or trainers.

A PE bag will also be required which can be of any colour (this makes it easier for the children, especially the younger ones, to recognise their own bag.)

HAIR In the interests of safety, practicality and hygiene, long hair i.e. shoulder length or longer, must be tied back during school hours. This is particularly important during PE and swimming. We are very aware of the fact that children are continually subjected to fashion influences with regard to hair styles and hair wear –some of which are appropriate to the school situation, whilst others are not. Any styles which cause a potential health and safety issue will not be allowed, nor will any style/accessory which is not formal school wear. Bearing this in mind, Grade 1 is not acceptable and Grade 2 haircuts should be applied with caution. Children should not have their hair or eyebrows shaved. Hairstyles should not be attention seeking. Therefore, styles such as tramlines/patterns, dreadlocks, Mohicans, highlights or dyed hair are not allowed. Non-compliance with the policy will lead to parents/carers being contacted and asked to resolve the situation.

JEWELLERY Children should not wear jewellery to school. Earrings, other than studs, are not allowed for Health and Safety reasons, and even they must be removed for P.E. and Games. Once removed, it is the responsibility of the child to ensure they are kept safe - not the teacher. Again for Health and Safety reasons, rings and

necklaces are not allowed to be worn and children arriving at school wearing them will be told to take them off. It really does seem a lot easier for all concerned if jewellery stays at home! No make-up is permitted at all, unless necessary for a concert or play. This includes nail varnish or temporary tattoos.
