Bags and coats
- Coats are to be smart without large logos and branding. We would encourage parents to choose coats with reflective strips, for safety. Hoodies are not permitted.
- No school bags need to be brought to school for Key Stage 1 (KS1) students - the Charles Darwin book bag and a lunch box are sufficient.
- Key Stage 2 (KS2) students - bags should be without large logos and branding. Bags need to be suitable for carrying student books and equipment eg. backpack or satchel styles.
Uniform rules
- One pair of small metal stud earrings may be worn.
- No rings, necklaces or bracelets are to be worn, apart from Medical Alert jewellery.
- A watch may be worn.
- Makeup is not to be worn. Nail varnish should not be worn.
- Hairstyles and colours should not be extreme. We would strongly suggest that parents discuss hairstyles and colours with the school beforehand if they are in any doubt as to whether they might be considered extreme. This will avoid potential issues.
