PERSONAL ITEMS

The governing body does not accept liability for the security of personal items on school premises.  The wearing of jewelry and watches in school can cause all manner of problems for children and staff, and we do discourage it generally.  The Health and Safety advice of the LA. is that "All jewelry and other adornments should be removed before participation in physical activities".  If such removal is unacceptable for cultural, religious reasons or newly pierced, then items may be covered for the duration of the activity
