Dress Code: School uniform introduced session 2003/4

Short Description:

School uniform introduced following full consultation with pupils, parents, staff and primaries.

Following initial consultation with parents and school boards it was decided to go ahead with further consultation with pupils with a view to introduce uniform for session 2003/4. This culminated in a ‘Fashion Show’ of various uniforms/styles for pupils and parents including P6/P7 from associated primaries – following the show pupils voted on the uniform to be adopted.

Why Was It Successful?

Pupils involved at early stage

Parents very supportive
Primaries involved in push across ASG for uniform
Still above 986 compliance
