School Uniform
Our school uniform supplier is:
https://www.yourschooluniform.com/schools/index/beaulieu-park-school
The Beaulieu Park School believes that our uniform is essential to the ethos of our school community as it establishes a clear sense of identity, fosters a sense of inclusive belonging, and engenders both positive behaviour and self-discipline, which in turn supports teaching and learning. Our uniform promotes a positive sense of communal identity and is designed to minimise the differences that may arise from wealth and status.
In determining our uniform and any changes that might follow, the school will seek the views of:
- Governors
- Staff
- Parents
- Students
(A consultation will be arranged if there are any significant changes to the School’s Uniform Policy)
NB: We believe that our school uniform offers the best value compared to all local schools and this can easily be checked.

HAIR
Our hair is a part of us and the way it is worn may be culturally significant. All hair in its natural form, or worn in a culturally traditional way is appropriate at Beaulieu. Our rules on hair pertain to extremes of style, or those styles that might present a health and safety risk in e.g. practical lessons. The Beaulieu Park School is a proud signatory of the Halo code. Information about the code can be found at the bottom of the page.
Use of excessive gel and unorthodox hairstyles are not permitted. Hair styles should be simple and suitable for school. Shoulder length or longer hair or hair that covers the eyes must be tied back so that it is 'off the face' and not a danger in e.g. practical lessons. Hair bands, ribbons, slides, bobbles or beads, if worn, must be black, navy blue, royal blue or yellow. Shaved (a number 2 or less) or partially shaved hair is not allowed*. Tramlines, shapes or carvings are not allowed (including in the eyebrow). No dyed, coloured, bleached or tinted hair is allowed.
*Refer to Halo Code where applicable.
MAKE UP
Nail varnish and false nails or eyelashes are not to be worn by any student. Discreet make-up is a privilege for students in Years 9 to 11. Please note that makeup/makeup bags will be confiscated and returned to parents. No fake tan in any years.
HIJAABS
If Hijabs are worn, they should be plain navy blue or black in colour. They should have no fringe and must be worn pinned securely. Under-scarves must be white or dark blue.
- Pins or clips must be small, dark in colour and understated.
- Material must not be too long at the front or the back so as to obscure the uniform.
- At the front (fringe), headscarves material must not go below the V-neck of a jumper or equivalent.
JEWELLERY
No jewellery is permitted with the exception of a wristwatch. If parents require that children have their ears pierced, this must be done at the start of the summer holidays as earrings may not be worn at all in school.
Jewellery includes badges, pins and other uniform accessories that have not been issued by the school.
We currently allow smart watches, but this will likely be reviewed as they develop to become a method of communication between students.
Garments worn beneath the shirt must be plain white. Coloured items, including visible words on white t-shirts are not allowed.

OTHER MATTERS RELATING TO UNIFORM YEARS 7 - 11
Our school does not allow students to wear jewellery, as this can compromise safety in physically active lessons, and can result in a pupil being more vulnerable to acts of bullying, and/or street robbery by other young people. Pupils can often misplace/lose items of jewellery, and trying to recover property can be very disruptive to the efficient and effective running of our school.
All other decisions regarding the suitability of students’ dress (or other aspects of appearance, for example jewellery, hairstyle, make up and so on) will be made at the discretion of the Principal.
NB: Under the Halo Code, the school issues additional guidance around Afro-texture hair and protective styles, including:
- That e.g. Head Wraps are black, dark blue, royal blue or yellow (school colours)
- Rules around long hair covering the face are universally followed
- That hair may not be coloured, dyed, bleached or tinted
