Student Appearance
Make Up – At Hanham Woods Academy the wearing of make up is discouraged as is not needed for school. If make up is worn, then it must be of a very discrete nature. Nail varnish of any kind is not permitted. Acrylic/false nails/gel nails and false eyelashes of any kind should not be worn at any time.
Hairstyles – For Health and Safety reasons, Hanham Woods Academy expects students to have no extreme hairstyles. If the Principal, or a member of staff acting for the principal, considers a student’s hairstyle to be unreasonable, then the student will be asked to rectify the matter.
Jewellery – A single pair of ear studs may be worn in the earlobe and/or nose stud may be worn to the Academy but must be removed for PE without exception. Apart from this, no additional jewellery may be worn, i.e. no hooped ear/nose-rings, necklaces, bracelets, rings or additional piercings. Plastic retainers of any kind are not allowed. Taping of piercings is not permitted for PE or at any other time. Allowances are not made for healing times for new piercings. If students wish to have a new piercing then they must remove it for school without exception. Smart watches are not permitted.
School bags – All students should bring a ‘school bag’ to the Academy every day. A ‘school bag’ is defined by the Academy as a bag which is suitable to carry of up to A4 size, basic equipment and kit for other subjects. Typically, students carry waterproof rucksacks.
