Wearing earrings in school

Earrings in school

Only one pair of simple stud earrings are allowed to be worn to school. They must be removed by the child themselves for PE and swimming.

We recommend children come to school without earrings on swimming and PE days. If not, they must take them out and replace them themselves. Staff are not allowed to take out or put in earrings.

Children are responsible for their own earrings if they are taken out at school.

We encourage parents to make use of the summer holidays for ear piercing. This will enable ears to heal before returning to the academy in September.

If children do have their ears pierced during term time:

For school swimming lessons through Nottinghamshire County Council: Children cannot wear earrings for school swimming. We recommend that children come to school without earrings on a school swimming day. Otherwise they must be removed and replaced by the child. If earrings cannot be removed, then children will be excluded from school swimming lessons.

For PE, Ideally earrings should NOT be worn for PE due to health & safety. We advise taking earrings out at home, if not, the child will need to take them out them self. You are welcome to cover with tape but this needs to be done at home. School will NOT cover earrings with tape.  If earrings are not removed or covered with tape, your child will be excluded from the lesson and expected to complete an age related written PE observation form.

Staff are to be aware that tape should be sufficient to prevent the stud post from penetrating the bone behind the ear should an unintentional blow be received (i.e. from another child or piece of equipment like a ball). The teacher supervising the children retains legal responsibility to ensure the taping is effective for purpose.
