Please note:    

• • Please label all uniform with nametags or markers which won’t come off in the wash.
  • Classrooms do not have enough space to store large backpacks, so a book bag is ideal. Alternatively, bags should have long, thin straps which make them hard to knock off a small peg.  Suitable bags are “messenger” style, drawstring or satchels.
  • All but the shortest hair should be tied back. Hair that touches the collar or a fringe that falls into the eyes should be tied up or clipped back.
  • Hair accessories should be practical for school and neutral in colour.
  • The school does not permit pupils to have “extreme” haircuts that could distract other children. This includes patterns cut into the hair, Mohican styles, artificial colours or spiking.  The definition of an extreme hairstyle is at the discretion of the Head.
  • Headscarves worn for religious reasons should be plain and black, blue or white in colour.
  • All earrings should be plain studs. These will need to be removed for PE.
  • No jewellery is to be worn, except a plain watch, unless it is religious in nature and a parent has confirmed this. No smartwatches or fitbits are allowed.
  • No nail varnish is to be worn. Please keep nails short and practical for school.
  • Shoes should be practical for school. If trainers are worn as shoes, these must be entirely black.  No flip-flops, jelly shoes or boots are allowed.
  • The water bottle should contain water only. If a child is at risk from not drinking, flavoured water which is sugar-free and clear is permitted.
  • From September 2022, the old-style “Rowans” branded uniform should not be worn. Waterside Academy branded or non-branded uniform is acceptable.
  • The Head’s decision on uniform is final.
