For safety reasons, the wearing of earrings (including studs), string bracelets or other jewellery is not permitted during sporting activities, PHE or swimming. These items are safety hazards not only to the wearer but also to other students and staff as well. If ears are newly pierced, studs may remain in place for a period of 6 weeks only. During this period they must be taped for all physical activities.

Swimsuits must be made of Lycra or similar material and be tight fitting. Goggles and swim hats are optional but highly recommended.

If your child is ill, please keep them at home. If they are at school they will be expected to take part in all curriculum areas, including swimming lessons.

Any student suffering from an injury should provide a note or e-mail from their parent or guardian. The note must provide health information and clearly state the activities in which the student cannot engage. In this case, students will participate in the lesson in alternative ways such as video analysis.
