Guidance on appropriate footwear
Suitable for School
Not suitable for School
“Leather look trainers” are permitted but should contain no sports branding (Nike Air-forces trainers are not permitted etc.)
Hair, make-up amd jewellery
Theale Green School recognises that school uniform creates a sense of belonging and connection to our community, however we also recognise all students are individuals.
However we request:
- No extremes of hair colour or hair style are permitted. Only naturally occurring hair colour will be permitted. This rule is considerate of different cultures and hair types.
- Make up should be subtle for a “place of work” and be professional. When a member of staff judges that make up is not appropriate, students will be asked to remove it.
- Nail varnish, gel nails or nail extensions may be worn in school as long as they are suitable for a “professional environment” and curriculum requirements, such as PE and Food Tech.
- Students are permitted to wear discreet jewellery, suitable for a professional environment. Specifically, this means that students may wear stud earrings, one small ring, a bracelet and a necklace (worn underneath uniform). This rule is considerate of different cultures.
- No other piercings should be visible. Clear studs are acceptable (transparent, flat, invisible). Facial piercings must not be seen. Students with visible facial piercings will be required to remove them.
- Students may wear watches but will be required to remove these for exams.

- The PE kit is designed for body shape and comfort when playing sport and the table above is for recommendation, but one item must be worn from each row by every student
