Our school champions the right of learners to embrace afro-hairstyles. We acknowledge that Afro-textured hair is an important part of our Black learners and staff’s racial, ethnic, cultural and religious identities and requires specific styling for hair health and maintenance.
We celebrate Afro-textured hair worn in all styles including, but not limited to afros, twists, locs, braids, cornrows, fades, hair straightened through the application of heat or chemicals, weaves, wigs, headscarves and wraps.
We recognise and celebrate our learners and colleagues’ identities. We are a community built on respect and equality where hair texture and style have n bearing on a learner’s ability to succeed.
In October 2025 we adopted ‘The Halo Code’.

Halo Code does not prevent schools from issuing additional guidance around Afro-texture hair and protective styles, including:
– That head wraps and scarves should reflect other elements of the dress code such as the school’s colours (Blue, yellow, grey)
– That hair be tied up for health and safety reasons.
– That hair colour is reflective of the wider dress code policy
