Make-up – Students are encouraged to wear no make-up to school.Heavy make-up is not permitted.Students wearing excessive make-up will be instructed to remove it immediately.
Nails- Students will be strongly advised to avoid long finger nails in practical subjects for following reasons: they may cause injury to self/ others while taking part in P.E. and sport; they may inhibit the development of fine motor skills and dexterity associated with achievement in subjects such as Art/Home Economics;long nails,false nails and nail varnish are considered to be a hygiene hazard in Home Economics and the Food Industry in general.

Drop, dangle, bars, ring or hoop piercings or earrings of any type or size, are banned on health and safety grounds.Students will be asked to remove them immediately.Repeat offences or failure to comply with the uniform policy will result in sanctions in line with the Code of Behaviour.
Students should be neat and tidy at all times. All uniform items should be clearly marked with the student’s name.
While wearing the school uniform, within the school and outside the school grounds,students are expected to behave in a manner consistent with the standards set by the school.
Students who are not in full school uniform will not be permitted to class.
A parent/guardian will be contacted and asked to bring appropriate uniform to school or collect their daughter and return her in full uniform.
