Head Coverings (hijabs)
These must be plain black, grey or navy

 

Hair colour and style must be appropriate for school.  Students are asked to respect this.

 

As part of our Personal Development programme, we ask students to consider their appearance and the impression it makes on others.  This is particularly important when representing Northumberland PRU.

 

At Northumberland PRU we are always conscious of health and safety risks both to the owner and others, consequently, the only jewellery allowed is a wristwatch and a single pair of stud earrings.  In addition, facial or bodily piercings, are not allowed.

 

 

NB: Specific items of uniform are provided to all students free of charge - Polo Shirt/Hoodie.

 

 

If pupils, parents or carers have any doubts or questions, please check with PRU staff.
