Smart Devices and GDPR - Smart Watches / Fit Bits / Phones are not permitted in school and cannot be worn as part of school uniform. Your child will be asked to put this in their tray if they are wearing them.

P.E - Earrings

The advice is as follows: 

National guidance on personal effects is given in ‘safe practice in physical education and school sport’, published by the association for physical education (afPE). Website: www.afpe.org.uk

Personal effects (e.g. jewellery, religious adornments, watches, hair slides, belts, spectacles, hearing aids)  constitute a hazard if worn while participating in physical activity and should be removed beforehand. Taping over ear studs is not recommended as a solution. 

Earrings cannot be made safe if the child doesn't remove them so they cannot take part in the activity e.g. P.E or go swimming with them in.  The Local Authority sought clarity with insurance about this and this is what has been agreed by them.  

Moving forwards, it is preferable for earrings not to be worn in school (ideally, they should be worn outside of school e.g. weekends). 

If earrings are worn, they must be flat to the earlobe. 

Earrings will not be permitted for P.E or swimming.   

If the child does wear earrings on these days and cannot remove them independently in school, they will have to be involved in the lesson in ways that avoid direct physical participation (e.g. act as referee, scorer, analyst or use other equipment, etc.). If this cannot be achieved they will not take part at all.  

Children will not be permitted to join in the swimming lesson.
