General expectations

PLEASE ENSURE ALL CLOTHING IS NAMED.

Children should not wear any form of jewellery to school, except wrist watches or stud earrings. If stud earrings are worn, any accidents that may occur will be the responsibility of the parent.

During PE/games sessions stud earrings will have to be removed or taped by the children otherwise they will not be able to participate in the lesson.

‍

As a school, our policy is that taping is utilised to enable participation. However, appropriate action needs to be taken at the start of the lesson to ensure the safety of the children.

Staff are not required to remove or tape up earrings for students.
Students should come ready for the lesson, preferably with earrings removed or adequately taped.
Taping over ear may offer a measure of protection in some physical activity situations, where individuals are required to work within their own personal space. The amount of tape used needs to be sufficient to prevent the piercing penetrating, for example, the bone behind the ear should an unintentional blow be received from someone or some item of equipment, such as a ball.

Where taping is used, PE coaches supervising the group has the legal responsibility to ensure the taping is fit for purpose. If the adult considers the taping to be unsatisfactory to permit safe participation, staff will make adaptations in terms of how the student takes part in the practical aspects of the lesson. The student can contribute to group planning, designing and tactical discussions, but can have different tasks assigned to them during the practical elements of the lesson (for example, individual skills practices, peer coaching, observation and feedback tasks, videoing others to analyse at a later stage, or officiating in a games context). We look to have maximum participation in all PE lessons, but this may not be possible if the pupil is unable to remove personal effects or the taping is deemed unsatisfactory. Parents must supply their own tape (micropore) and leave in the child's PE bags clearly labelled.

We would also highly recommend the use of Silicone-based sports studs which are designed specifically for sporting activities.

Teachers are not allowed to help children remove or insert their earrings.

Watches will also be removed

Lost property

We ask, as an expectation, that all items are labelled with children's names. When items are found they can be returned to the children. If an item is found and is not named, it is returned to the year group suitable to the size of the item. At the end of each half term, unclaimed items will be out on display after school for collection. Anything that is still unclaimed, would then be added to the PTA preloved uniform.

Pre-loved uniform

Our wonderful PTA have a selection of Pre-loved Hockley School uniform. Please ask at the school office for details if this is something that would support you when purchasing school uniform.
