All Saints Appearance Policy

It makes us so happy to see so many of children presenting with pride while wearing their uniforms. In the past few weeks, we have seen a few unexpected additions to the uniform, whether jewellery, hair adornments, coloured socks, patterns cut into hair etc. If you can take a moment to read through our appearance policy and remind your children of the school’s expectations, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to those who help their children with this. We realise there are days when items may not get through the wash in time, or runners are wet, etc a quick phone call to the school or note to the teacher would be appreciated in this case. 

All Saints Appearance Policy

 The appearance policy is an extension of the principles of the Uniform Policy.

Jewellery - Only two items of jewellery may be worn at one time: 

• A wristwatch, 
• One ring, 
• One bangle or bracelet (No toy bracelets or chunky rings), 
• Girls are permitted to wear one set of small gold or silver studs, limited to one in each earlobe.
• It is preferred that necklaces be limited to crucifixes or scapulars.

Hair – Girls 

• Hair is to be tidy and neither grown, cut, nor groomed in an extreme or exaggerated fashion. 
• Hairstyles should be neat and well-groomed. 

Where long enough to be tied back, it should all be tied back, using elastic bands that match natural hair or All Saints’ school colours. (maroon or navy blue) School-coloured ribbons and scrunchies may also be worn. 

• Hair should be pulled back with maroon or navy blue clips/headbands when it obscures the face. (or with bobby pins that match natural hair colour)
• Hair colour should be the child’s natural colour. No colouring in any form is acceptable. 

Hair – Boys 

• Hair is to be tidy and neither grown nor groomed in an extreme or exaggerated fashion eg closely shaved heads, steps, layering or patterning are not considered acceptable. 
• It is preferable for hair not to pass the collar. If, however, it does, it must be tied back with a natural hair or school colour band.
• Hair should not obscure the face. 
• Hair should not extend beyond the top of the collar at the back, beyond eyebrows at the front or past the top of the ears. 
• Hair colour should be the child’s natural colour. No colouring in any form is acceptable. 

Make-up 

• Students should not wear any form of make-up as part of their daily presentation. 
• Coloured nail polishes and lipsticks are not permitted and will be removed with staff assistance.
