Mouth Guards

Parents need to consider whether or not their child needs to wear a mouth guard for sporting activities in school. In our opinion, there is a very low risk of injury, especially for KS1 pupils, but KS2 pupils do play hockey, for example, where the risk is greater. We do not want to enforce the wearing of mouth guards but approve of the use of them where appropriate.

Jewellery

Occasionally pupils wear personal items to school, which constitute a health and safety hazard. The following recommendations are in line with our Health and Safety Policy and reflect our commitment to the safety of all in our school.

   The wearing of jewellery is discouraged with the exception of a watch.

   Some hair accessories can be hazardous in an activity which involves physical contact. Hair decorations should be simple and practical.

   Teachers regularly check that these guidelines are being observed and complied with.

   The responsibility for the safe-keeping of jewellery rests with the pupil.
