We do not expect our pupils to wear school uniform at Cardrew Court. We want our pupils to be comfortable, and learning in their own clothes will facilitate this. 

Health and Safety is extremely important to our work at Cardrew Court, and this will need to be taken into account by Parents and Carers when supporting their children in getting ready for school.

Pupils should come to school in clothes that they are comfortable in but that are mindful of health & safety within school.

Therefore we do not allow the following; to be worn;
• Open-backed, open-toed, steel-toed or high-heeled shoes.
• Low cut tops, high cut belly tops, vests, strappy tops, crop tops. T-Shirts, / Jumpers should not expose skin to  injury within practical subjects or across the school.
• Short legged (above mid-thigh) skirts, shorts, or trousers that could expose  skin to injury within practical subjects.
• No fancy dress outfits including headwear and additional items, such as furry masks, tails etc.
• No specialist sports kits or equipment (unless needed for PE, or a sporting fixture, therefore only to be worn within the specific sporting event)
• No masks, snoods, facial shielding unless for religious or medical purposes.

Jewellery and accessories rules 

• Please be aware that we cannot allow learners to wear dangly earrings, skater-type keychains, or long necklaces to school for Health and Safety reasons.  

• Whilst we want learners to be comfortable in school, they should not wear items like these to school. 

• Learners are permitted to wear stud earrings and stud nose piercings as well as 1 necklace that can be tucked into their tops.  

• Rings can be worn, 1 per finger of a band type style therefore no large stones, or designs that can get caught and cause injury. 

• All jewellery should be removed for PE, Outdoor Ed and Food lessons and any other physical activity whereby such items could cause an injury whilst being worn. 

• Make up if worn should be minimal and natural.

Please find more information in the parent pack you will receive when your child starts with us at the school.

 

We do not allow pupils to carry their mobile phones or internet-connectable devices with them during school hours. If mobile phones or devices are brought to school, we ask that they are handed in and locked away securely within our reception for the duration of the school day.

Pupils will then be issued back their devices at the end of the school day.
