At Mead Vale, we are very proud of our school uniform.  It plays a valuable role in contributing to the ethos of our school and sets an appropriate tone for learning as we enjoy and achieve together.  We ask that parents support our school uniform policy and we appreciate your co-operation as we insist all children wear appropriate school clothing. We have a detailed school uniform policy, which can be found on our policies page

Jewellery, Piercings and Watches

No jewellery would be our preference, but if a child has their ears pierced then, for safety reasons, only small plain studs should be worn when at school and during school swimming lessons these earrings would need to be either removed or covered with medical tape or plasters. Watches – only those of plain metallic or dark colours may be worn and must be removed for any physical activity

Hair For Both Boys and Girls

Hair should be its natural colour – bleached and dyed hair is not permitted

All styles should be neat and tidy with no drastic differences in length or texture and not sculptured in anyway

Any pupil with long hair, touching shoulders or longer, is required when in school, for safety reasons, to have their hair tied back. Hair should be tied back with basic accessories of school colours

Hair products are not permitted in school and we would ask that they are only used if really necessary, wet look products are not permitted

We ask that all parents/carers check their child’s hair for head lice at a minimum of twice a week, once at weekends and once midweek
