Years 7 - 11:

• A wristwatch and one plain stud in each ear may be worn on the lower lobe.  No other jewellery (including facial piercings of any kind) is permitted.

• Make-up, where worn, should be light and hair styles/colours should be suitable for a professional work place and not be extreme.  Nail varnish may be worn but should be removed for Food Technology lessons for health and safety reasons.

Years 5 - 6:

• Jewellery - Watches are the only form of jewellery permitted, including ‘Fitbits’ ™ that monitors health only. ‘Fitbits’ ™ that receive communications are not permitted.

• Ear-piercing - Parents and Carers are requested to arrange for children who wish to have their ears pierced during the academy year to have this done at the beginning of the summer holiday so that the pierced hole will heal during the holiday period and the earring(s) can be removed before the child returns to academy in September.

• We do not allow students to wear earrings at any time, including when they have recently had their ears pierced.

• No other body piercings are allowed.  We operate this rule to protect the health and safety of our students.

Years 5 and 6 are not permitted to wear make-up, nail varnish or acrylic nails.  This is the expectation across of the Trust schools.

Years 7 to 11 may wear make-up and nail varnish, which must be modest and discrete.  Lipstick, false eyelashes and acrylic nails are not allowed.

All students will be expected to wear their ties and jumper / or blazers (depending on year group) to and from school. The Headteacher will decide whether students can remove their ties / blazers inside the classroom if the weather is exceptionally hot.

If there is a genuine reason for this please send a note or email your childs Tutor (Teacher for years 5 & 6).  If there isn't a reasons for this then in line with the King James Academy Behaviour Policy your child will be issued with a “consequence”.  As a school we wish to be inclusive to all families, so if your family is experiencing hardship please do make contact.

Haircuts should look smart and not follow extreme fashion trends which draw unnecessary attention to the student.  For health and safety the wearing of hair braids or beads is not recommended. For PE and Science, long hair should be tied back.
