Our Equalities statement

Here at Holtspur we do not discriminate against any pupil on the grounds of their sex or sexual orientation, race or religion. We challenge stereotyping whenever it occurs. Items of uniform are not gender specific.

School uniform

Our school has a uniform to identify its members as part of Holtspur School & Preschool. We see the wearing of our uniform as something to be proud of and as a statement of our work and life together as members of the school.

Our aim is to make our uniform as affordable as possible and we do carry second hand items, although we cannot guarantee having the right sizes always available. 

School specific polo shirts, shorts, jumpers and fleeces can be purchased from The School Shop in Beaconsfield or through our own PTA shop which sells good quality used items of uniform at significantly reduced prices. Regular sales take place which are advertised to parents.

If you are experiencing hardship and require support with uniform, please make an appointment to talk to Mrs McKellar in confidence.

All items of uniform must be labelled clearly and permanently with your child’s name.

Hair

No flowers, jewels or other decorations. Hair should not be dyed. Fashion cuts – shaved lines and symbols, Mohicans, stripes etc are not allowed. If hair is beaded or plaited during the holidays, it must be securely tied back for reasons of health and safety. If in doubt, please ask before the event.

Jewellery

We do not permit jewellery to be worn at school because there is a Health and Safety risk to the child wearing it and to others. We do however allow small stud earrings and a simple watch (provided there is no digital photo taking capability) to be worn. 

We recognise that jewellery or clothing may have a religious significance, in this case they will be allowed, at the discretion of the Headteacher. Please make a request to the Head in writing.

Nail varnish, temporary tattoos and make-up are not allowed.

Where a pupil consistently breaches the rules on uniform or hair, they may lose the privilege of representing Holtspur School at events.
