School Uniform

"Pupils wear their uniform with pride."

Ofsted, 11 and 12 March 2025

It is important that our pupils feel a sense of belonging and community through a smart and practical uniform. We believe a uniform allows all pupils, regardless of background, to feel equal to their peers and confident in their appearance. We also believe it is important for activities to be facilitated by specialised and appropriate clothing such as sports-specific attire.

By sending your child to Westfield Junior School, parents/carers are agreeing to the terms and conditions of our Uniform Policy.

P.E. Kit

Accessories

Jewellery

Permitted jewellery that may be worn is:

• One pair of small stud earrings (no hoops or long earrings) – no other piercings are permitted.
• A sensible wristwatch – smart watches should not be worn to school.
• Religious jewellery.

Jewellery is the responsibility of the pupil and not the school. Lost or damaged items will not be refunded. All jewellery must be removed for PE lessons, sports clubs and sporting events.

New piercings must only be done at the very start of the summer holiday to ensure they can be removed the first day of term.

Hairstyles

The school reserves the right to make a judgement on where pupils’ hairstyles or hair colours are inappropriate for the school environment; however, will ensure that any such judgements do not discriminate against any pupil by virtue of their protected characteristics.  Each individual pupil’s scenario will be taken into account where any judgements on appropriateness are to be made, and parents will always have the freedom to complain via the school’s Complaints Procedures Policy.

Pupils with long hair must ensure that this does not impede their vision, cover their face or provide a health and safety risk.  Long hair must be tied up during practical lessons, e.g. during PE.

The following hairstyles are not considered appropriate for school:

• Brightly-coloured, dyed hair.
• Decorative patterns cut into hair.

Makeup

The school rules on makeup are as follows:

• No pupil is allowed to wear make-up. Pupils wearing make-up are required to remove it or, if appropriate, parents will be contacted to remove it.
• Artificial nails, nail extensions, nail varnish and false eyelashes are not permitted.
• Temporary tattoos are not permitted.
• Fake tan is not permitted.

There may be exceptions to the above in extreme circumstances, at the Headteacher’s discretion, e.g. a pupil may be permitted to cover heavy scarring/skin damage.
