Hairstyles
We recommend that long hair (shoulder length or longer) be tied back. Headbands or hair bobbles should be plain. Elaborate hair ties and bands are not used as it can be distracting for other children who are sat behind children who are wearing these especially when on the carpet and in assembly.
