At
West Kidlington Primary School and Nursery, our school uniform policy
is based on the notion that a school uniform:
- Promotes
a sense of pride in the school.
- Engenders
a feeling of community and belonging.
- Is
practical and smart.
- Identifies
the children with the school.
- Is
not distracting in class.
- Makes
children feel equal to their peers in terms of appearance.
- Is
regarded as suitable, and good value for money, by most
parents/carers.
- Has
been designed with health and safety in mind.

Jewellery
The
school does not allow children to wear jewellery on health and safety
grounds. However, there are two exceptions:
- Stud
earrings in pierced ears.
- Small
objects of religious significance where this has been agreed with
the headteacher.
In
both cases, we ask the children either to remove these objects during
PE and games lessons, or to cover earrings with a plaster.
Children
should not wear makeup or coloured nail varnish.
Hair
The
school strongly advises that children do not have extreme haircuts
that could serve as a distraction to other children. Examples include
patterns shaved into hair
and dyed
or highlighted hair.
We
advise that those with long hair wear it tied back in school to
reduce distraction, be comfortable on hot days and
in
PE, and
to reduce the spread of headlice.
