Hair and Make Up

Pupils’ hair should be smart and tidy.
Pupils with long hair should wear it off the face and tied back in science and PE lessons.
No extreme hairstyles are permitted e.g. shaved lines or patterns, or shaved completely.
Pupils are not permitted to dye their hair or wear hair extensions (see exceptions below).
We acknowledge that Afro-textured hair is an important part of our Black pupils’ racial, ethnic, cultural, and religious identities, and requires specific styling for hair health and maintenance. We celebrate Afro-textured hair worn in all styles including, but not limited to, afros, twists, braids, cornrows, extensions, hair straightened through the application of heat or chemicals. All accessories must be navy blue or black. No beads are allowed. *Extensions should be the pupil’s natural hair colour and there should not be a significant change in length.
No facial hair other than for religious reasons.
Jewellery: limited to a watch (no smart watches). No earrings (excluding small studs) or any other jewellery
Make-up: Pupils' must not come to school wearing make up.

At Emmanuel we will try our best to inform parents and carers about any closures, including those caused by snow.

Any school closures will be updated and put on the home page of the website.

The decision to close the school is taken by the headteacher. The headteacher has to weigh up a number of factors including the local weather conditions, pupil safety and the staff numbers before making a decision.
