As a school we have signed up to the Halo Code which champions and respects the fact that Afro-textured hair may require specific styling and maintenance to ensure hair is healthy. The Halo Code complements our Uniform Guidance and helps our school community to better reflect our belief that hair texture and style do not impact on anyone's ability to succeed. 

The Halo Code

Our school champions the right of staff and students to embrace all Afro-hairstyles. We acknowledge that Afro-textured hair is an important part of our Black staff and students’ racial, ethnic, cultural, and religious identities, and requires specific styling for hair health and maintenance.

We welcome Afro-textured hair worn in all styles including, but not limited to, afros, locs, twists, braids, cornrows, fades, hair straightened through the application of heat or chemicals, weaves, wigs, headscarves, and wraps.

At this school, we recognise and celebrate our staff and students’ identities. We are a community built on an ethos of equality and respect where hair texture and style have no bearing on anyone’s ability to succeed.
