When is a uniform required?
Children are required to wear the uniform to school at all times for pupils in Reception to Year 6. All pupils must wear the uniform when representing the school at events off school property. Children are at all times ambassadors for the school, and never more so than when larger groups are on school trips. The children should wear the uniform with pride, as it identifies them as pupils of Enfield Academy of New Waltham. Finally, pupils should wear the PE uniform when they are representing our school at inter-school sporting events.
What about jewellery and make-up?
Pupils with pierced ears may wear a single stud-earring or a pair of stud earrings to school. For safety reasons, children must not wear rings or jewellery to school. Long hair is to be tied back. Children must not wear make-up, temporary tattoos or nail polish. Children may wear sensible hair bands to match their hair colour or in red only.
What kind of clothes are not allowed?
The shoes children wear should be sensible for both learning and play time, so strapless shoes, flip-flops and shoes with high heels are not allowed. Trainers are not allowed in the place of sensible shoes. Light-coloured jeans are not acceptable for trousers. Football strips are not acceptable for PE lessons. Brightly coloured adornments in the hair are not allowed. Extreme hairstyles are not allowed – neither are patterns shaved into the hair.
The Role of Parents
We ask all parents who send their children to Enfield Academy of New Waltham to support the school uniform policy. We believe that parents have a duty to send their children correctly dressed and ready for work. One of the responsibilities of parents is to ensure that their child has the correct uniform, and that it is clean and in good repair.
The Headteacher is responsible for enforcing the uniform policy and has the full support of the school’s Academy Improvement Committee and Enquire Learning Trust.
