JEWELLERY & NAIL VARNISH

Students, if they wish, may wear discrete studs in their ears.  If students have a nose piercing, they should use a clear nose stud.  In the interest of Health & Safety, pupils are never allowed to wear rings, hooked or hooped earrings, nose rings or other facial jewellery.  The only additional visible jewellery permitted is a watch.  Nail extensions and coloured nail varnish are not appropriate for college.

ITEMS OF EQUIPMENT

Every student should own and bring appropriate equipment for the day, e.g: to college daily the following items of equipment: bag, pencil case containing a pen, pencil, ruler, rubber, calculator and a reading book. Students should also carry their books needed for the day, PE equipment and Food Technology supplies when appropriate. Lockers are available within college for students’ use.

Valuable personal items must not be brought into college.  St. Bede's will not accept responsibility for damage or loss of any items.

MOBILE PHONES

Students may bring a mobile phone to college but it must be kept out of sight, either in their bag or in their locker, switched off.  A failure to keep mobile phones "out of sight" will result in them being confiscated.  Collection of confiscated items by parents from the college reception can be arranged by appointment.
