Senior School UNIFORM

Procedure

These Dress Regulations are an integral part of the School Rules, and apply for every occasion connected with school, except occasions (eg certain expeditions) for which other dress is specifically ordered.

No distinctive article of School dress may be worn unless the wearer is correctly dressed according to these regulations. Parents are asked to see that pupils comply exactly.

All articles of clothing brought to School must be clearly marked with name and initials.

The Academy has a second-hand clothing shop which is situated behind the dining hall of the Junior School in Arboretum Road. It is open twice a month during term time as advertised in the News Sheet.

N.B.

Senior School Outer Coat

There is an official senior school outer coat. Pupils do not have to wear an outer coat to and from school but when they do it must be of this approved design and is only available from Aitken & Niven or Clan House. We consulted extensively with pupils and parents as well as our suppliers over the design. The only exception to this is for those pupils in the Geits and 2nds who have an official junior school coat which still fits.

Mixed Sports and day wear

We ask for parents’ cooperation on the matter of mixed sports and day wear. The simple rule is that pupils must wear their normal school uniform in school and moving to and from the school or playing fields.

At the request of both parents and pupils we were happy to modify this rule to allow pupils in the senior school who had just finished a games practice to leave from the playing fields with a full track suit [top and bottoms] over their sports kit. The modification of the rule does not allow pupils to wear the normal day school blazer over the top of the tracksuit.
