Jewellery
Having given due consideration to health and safety issues and the possible risks of bullying and harassment due to the wearing of jewellery, children may wear a single ear stud in each ear. A suitable watch may also be worn.
No other jewellery may be worn. No body piercing jewellery is allowed.
Ear studs must be removed or covered by a plaster for health and safety reasons during PE lessons.
Hairstyles
Hair must be styled in an appropriate manner that is acceptable to Westgate Academy. The final decision rests with the Head teacher of Westgate Academy over what is considered to be an extreme hairstyle.
Tramlines and Mohicans are not permitted.
Hair must not be partially or fully dyed .
The Academy has a right to expect that long hair can be safely tied back for work in school for PE lessons and Science and DT lessons where appropriate, or in any other areas where health and safety considerations must take priority.
Make-Up
No ‘Make Up’ is allowed.
