Haircuts

One area of school life that often is the key frustration for staff, students and parents alike is the hair and grooming standards. Whilst we are getting to the conclusion of the term, there are a number of students who require a haircut now, and cannot wait until the holidays. 

It is expected that students meet the prescribed guidelines:

• Hair is not to be cut any shorter than a number three blade. (no tracks)
• At the back, hair must be cut evenly and clearly above the collar and for longer hair tied up, not left loose.
• The fringe must be cut to a length above the eyebrows, not kept longer and simply brushed to the side.
• At the sides, hair must be cut and worn so that the ears are completely exposed. Sweeping longer hair behind the ears is unacceptable and must be tied back.
• Shorter hair at the back and sides must be blended gradually into the longer hair on top.
• It is expected that hair be kept completely as the student’s natural colour and that no artificial colouring, bleaching, dying or streaking of hair is done. The way the hair is worn should not draw attention to the student.
• As well as keeping hair at an acceptable length, it is expected that all students keep their hair neat and tidy every day.

We would appreciate parental support in this area.  If individuals wish to discuss these guidelines, please do not hesitate to make contact.
