Parents : Uniform
All students in Years 7 - 11 are required to wear school uniform and to have PE games kit. Uniform is a very important part of being a student at East Barnet School.

Hairstyles - No shaven or fashionably exaggerated hairstyles. Note: Students with extreme hairstyles will be sent home and a meeting arranged for parents and the student to discuss the situation and how the issue can be resolved.
Jewellery - The only items of jewellery permitted are stud earrings, no more than one in each ear. The studs should be discreet and not fashionably 'over-sized'. Note: Hoops, 'dangling' earrings are not allowed. Nose studs are not allowed. No other items of jewellery are permitted. Any student arriving in school wearing inappropriate jewellery will have it confiscated and returned at the end of the day with a letter for parents.
Make-up - Make-up (including nail varnish/nail extensions) may not be worn, or brought into school. Note: Any student arriving to school wearing make-up will be asked to remove it. If a student does not comply they will be sent home and a meeting arranged with the student, parents and a Head of Year. [In some cases where there is a need to disguise blemishes or scarring permission may be given, upon request, for a student to wear a minimum amount of concealer.]
Bags - one bag strong enough to protect school books and of a size sufficient to carry school exercise and text books. One bag to carry PE/Games Kit.
Note: No insurance cover for property and clothing brought to school by students is available to the school, and parents should bear this in mind when allowing their children to bring very expensive items onto school premises. It is important that clothing and equipment are clearly marked.
Sixth Form Dress Code
The Sixth Form occupy a very special and privileged position at East Barnet School and their conduct in and around the building should always be of the highest example. While there is no formal uniform in the Sixth Form, we expect students to dress in a manner that is appropriate for the business of school and serious study; showing consideration to all members of the school community. Students should not wear clothing that may be offensive to others nor dress in a way which may be seen as provocative.
On certain occasions when Sixth Form students represent the school, more formal dress may be required.
Lost Property
Enquiries about lost property should be made to Mrs. C. Collings, our Student Welfare Officer.
