Dear Families, 

I hope this article finds you in good health and enjoying the warmer weather.

Recently, we are seeing a lot of pupils wearing non-school uniform items including hats, bracelets, hoodies, hoop earrings, extremely long nails and football tops. 

Please ensure your child is correctly dressed for school. To aid you I have included the main features of the pupil dress code for Years 7 to 11 for your information below.

 

 

There are also a number of optional items should you want them.

PLEASE ENSURE ALL ITEMS OF SCHOOL UNIFORM AND PE KIT ARE
CLEARLY LABELLED WITH YOUR CHILD'S FULL NAME

Should you need to order more uniform, please go to https://www.mapac.com/education/parents/uniform/meadowhighschoolub83qw or buy plain non-branded equivalent options from high street stores.
 

Jewellery 

NO rings / bracelets / hoop earrings / necklaces.

NO facial piercings (nose/lip/eyebrow etc) 

YES to a watch / an item relating to the pupil’s religion (appropriate to school wear). If the items are unsafe for school or a school activity, the pupil will be asked to remove it.

YES to one small pair of stud earrings in the earlobe. NB: If children wear a stud/pair of stud earrings, there must be an understanding by parents/carers that the school will not be liable in the event of an accident/incident.  

Please note that pupils will be asked to remove jewellery which does not comply with our policy. School will not be liable for any losses.

 

Makeup / Nail Varnish & Nail Extensions and/or Long Fingernails 

If a student chooses to wear makeup, it must be discreet, no bright lipstick / eye makeup / false eyelashes. 

Nails (be they natural or false/gel) must be kept short (no longer than fingertip length) and natural in colour. If a student comes to school wearing nail varnish, their Form Tutor or a member of SLT may ask the pupil to remove it with nail polish remover (Year 7 -11). If a student comes to school with nail extensions or long nails, a phone call home will be made to advise that false nails must be removed / shortened or natural nails clipped at the earliest opportunity. For clarity, fingernails should not protrude beyond the ends of the fingers. 

Thank you for your support in this matter.

Kind regards

Mrs J Rigby
Headteacher
