Jewellery - It is not appropriate to wear jewellery to Holyrood Academy, as in many activities jewellery is a health hazard. Students may however, wear a single small stud or sleeper in the lobe of each ear.
Students may also wear a simple discreet finger ring and a wrist watch. Other rings, bracelets, necklaces or similar jewellery are not to be worn.

Make-up - any make-up worn must be discreet and nail varnish is not allowed.

Facial piercings - nose, eyebrow, tongue, lip or face studs, rings or bars are not permitted.

Tattoos (real or fake) - are not appropriate in the Academy and are not allowed.

Hair colour must be natural, one colour; extreme hair cuts are not acceptable.

Any member of staff can ask a student to abide by the Academy Dress Code.

Where a student does not follow the Academy Dress Code, the Academy reserves the right to withdraw the student from normal classes and in some circumstances a student may be sent home.

In all cases the Headteacher’s decision is final.
