Safeguarding _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ The purpose of King Edward VI School’s Safeguarding Policy is to provide a secure framework for the school in safeguarding, and promoting the welfare of those students who attend the school. The policy aims to ensure that: • all students are safe and protected from harm • other elements of provision and policies are in place to enable students to feel safe and adopt safe practices • staff, students, governors, visitors, volunteers and parents are aware of the expected behaviours and the school’s legal responsibilities in relation to its students. The school’s Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) is: • Mr Tom Spillane (Assistant Headteacher) Our Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead (DDSLs) are: • Mrs Beverley Tucker (Deputy Headteacher) • Mr Rob Herbert (Assistant Headteacher) • Mrs Susan Sweny (Safeguarding Officer) • Mrs Rachel Pickering (Professional Tutor) • Mr Jason Post (Head of Year) The full Safeguarding Policy can be viewed here.

Uniform expectations _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Wearing correct school uniform is an essential part of being a student at King Edward VI School. We have high expectations of our students and expect them to dress correctly. No student is allowed into lessons without the correct uniform, unless with a medical note. To avoid confusion and unnecessary expense, the guidelines below have been written to make clear our uniform requirements. More detailed guidance is available on the school website here. Questions should be raised with us before buying item(s) which may not conform to our expectations. Most of our uniform can be purchased from supermarkets, some items are available from Aubyn Davies in town. For those parents/carers wishing to make internet purchases, the same uniform and PE kit is available via their online shop at www.aubyndavies.co.uk. Purchases from supermarkets and department stores must match the school uniform requirements in terms of style and length. No jewellery is encouraged. Students may, however, wear one small stud (no larger than 1 cm diameter) in each ear. One small ‘traditional’ metal chain or necklace may be worn, but no other jewellery (including coloured necklaces). No rings or bracelets. No other piercing is allowed (e.g. nose, tongue or eyebrow studs). Any piercings must take place in the summer holidays and removable by the start of the Autumn Term. Any t-shirt worn beneath the school shirt must be plain white and must not extend below the shirt. Hairstyles which are ‘extreme’ or attract undue attention are not allowed – e.g. shaven styles or dyed hair (unless natural in colour and appearance). It is important to check with a Head of Year before having a hairstyle which may be considered inappropriate. Nails must have no varnish and short, for safety reasons. Hats, caps and other headgear (e.g. large hairbands/bandanas) should not be worn on the school site except out of doors as protection from the sun in summer. 23
