Earrings in Physical Education: Earrings must be removed for Physical Education. As a school we have a duty of care to ensure that students are able to participate actively without unnecessarily endangering themselves or those working around them. Moreover, where possible, children refrain from wearing earrings on PE days, particularly in the younger year groups. In line with this, we would request that if children wear earrings on their PE day, they are entirely independent to remove and replace their earrings as adults are unable to help the children to do this. Should a child wear earrings to school on PE day, we would ask that they are provided with a small purse or wallet to keep their earrings safe and this should be kept in their PE bag. The school cannot be responsible for earrings being lost.
We always encourage families to wait until the 6 week summer holiday period to have new ear piercings, however know that at times this is not possible. Should a child be within the 6 weeks immediately after having their ears pierced, we would ask a parent/guardian to write to us, informing of the date when the earrings will be able to be removed and that you understand the risks involved with your child wearing earrings when participating in PE as highlighted below:
Should tape be worn to cover the earrings, parents must note the following Health & Safety guidance: “The amount of tape used needs to be sufficient to prevent the piercing penetrating, for example, the bone behind the ear should an unintentional blow be received from someone or some item of equipment, such as a ball.”
For safely, a child’s participation in a lesson may be adapted to ensure that their participation is safe. This may involve the child having different tasks assigned to them during the practical element of the lesson, in order to keep them safe.
