Ethelbert Road Community Primary School
Uniform Information
School Uniform
School uniform plays a key role in promoting pride, self-confidence, and a feeling of belonging within the student body. These factors contribute to students' wellbeing, removing the additional pressures of deciding what to wear and added stress of meeting the expectations of their peers.
Ethelbert Road would like to ensure school uniform is made more affordable for families. We therefore follow the statutory guidance on uniform costs, and provide a pre-loved range of uniform for parents/carers to purchase at a very low cost. If anyone needs support with purchasing uniform, please do not hesitate to contact a member of staff or the school office.
We appreciate that at times, children may have specific needs that will require reasonable adjustments to be made to the uniform policy. At these times, the SEND/Pastoral team will work collaboratively with parents to agree a course of action.

Long hair
Long hair must be tied back (to the shoulder). Extreme hairstyles (eg sculptured, names / symbols, tramlines, patterns, Mohicans and dyed hair) are not acceptable.
In order for your child to show their personality, we allow them to wear headbands of their choice. However, if these headbands become distracting, we shall ask the child to remove them.
Jewellery
No jewellery should be worn except small stud earrings, medical jewellery, SEND jewellery or jewellery for religious beliefs. If jewellery is to be worn, parents should write to the Headteacher stating the reasons why. All jewellery MUST be removed for all PE lessons. If your child is removing their jewellery at school, please provide them with a small box or container to keep them safely. The school can not be held responsible for any lost jewellery.
Earrings
Only small round studs are to be worn for health and safety reasons. If your child has their ears pieced they can tape them with micropore tape for 6 weeks. Parents will need to provide micropore tape.
Parents will need to remove children’s earrings on PE days, or teach their child to remove them. If your child is removing their earrings at school, please provide them with a small box or container to keep them safely. The school can not be held responsible for any lost earrings.
Nail Varnish
Nail varnish is not permitted.
We have discussed these rules in line with the Equality Act 2010. However, if there is a specific reason your child needs reasonable adjustments to be made, please let us know.
