The school has a provision of pre-worn uniform that has been donated and then laundered. If you require any assistance with items of uniform please see a member of staff who will be happy to help you.
​
We will gratefully accept any donations of pre-worn uniform from families.
​
Jewellery
The following items of jewellery are permissible at Uplands:
​
-
earring studs in pierced ears - no hooped earrings please
-
watches may be worn
-
religious bangles
All items brought into school are at the child’s own risk and school cannot be responsible for any losses or breakages.
​
No jewellery whatsoever is allowed to be worn during PE: earrings must be taped over if they cannot be removed and school provides sweatbands for any religious item that cannot be removed.
​
Hair, Nails and Make-up
The school does not permit children to have ‘extreme’ haircuts or colours that could serve as a distraction to other children.
​
Nail varnish, acrylic nails and make up are not to be worn.
​
Footwear
The school wants all children to grow into healthy adults. We believe that it is dangerous for children to wear shoes that have platform soles or high heels, so we do not allow children to wear such shoes in our school. Neither do we allow children to wear trainers (unless for medical reasons known to school and/or PE lessons) this is because we think that this footwear is appropriate for sport or leisure: but not in keeping with the smart appearance of a school uniform. We require all children to wear shoes as stated in the uniform list.
