The Halo Code

Langley Park School for Girls is committed to working towards creating a world without hair discrimination and believe that no-one should have to change their natural hairstyle in order to thrive.

Race-based hair discrimination is illegal in the UK and hair is a protected characteristic, under the law. As a school, we have signed up to the Halo Code to protect the rights of black students and staff.

In addition to this statement, to comply with our school dress code, we request that:

• Hats, bandanas, bonnets and du-rags are not worn in school (except for outdoor hats in cold/hot weather)

• Hair bands or other discreet accessories should be navy blue or black

• Headscarves should be plain navy or black (Years 7-11) and only worn for religious purposes
