Uniform

Wearing school uniform contributes to a positive school ethos, helps avoid discrimination and reduces peer pressure to wear expensive designer clothing. Pupils are expected to be of a neat and tidy appearance. Unsuitable footwear is a hazard on stairs and can cause an accident.  The wearing of football colours/branded items, inappropriate logos on t-shirts or sweatshirts is not allowed at any time.

Our Uniform

We are delighted that local business Image Scotland are suppliers of our official school sweatshirt, poloshirt and hoodie. Please go directly to our uniform order page on their website.

We offer parents and carers the option of their child wearing either the branded sweatshirt or the non-branded items which can be bought cheaply from any supermarket or other clothing store. Either are equally acceptable. This is in line with the CEC policy on school uniform.
