Other items
Outdoor wear – At SBL we prefer navy blue or black coats. Hoodies are not permitted.
Jewellery - For reasons of safety and security we advise that students do not bring jewellery to school. All jewellery will have to be removed for PE and sport. Our expectation regarding the wearing of jewellery is as follows.
Students can wear:
One wrist watch
One small ring – signet or plain band
One plain stud in each ear only
One necklace – simple chain and small medallion
Facial piercings are not permitted at SBL Academy and students will be required to remove them before arrival at school. If your child is having any new piercings done, they should be done at the start of the summer holidays so that they can be safely removed before school.
Hairstyles - the Academy does not permit extremes of style or colour, for example extreme shaving or bright hair dyes. Hair colours should be natural in tone if hair is dyed or coloured.
Make-up - Students are allowed to wear discreet make up in school. If a student is wearing excessive make up they will be asked to remove it. For reasons of safety, long and/or acrylic nails are not permitted. Please ensure your child does not have acrylic nails fitted during term time.
