Parents are asked to co-operate with the school in encouraging the wearing of the school uniform. Branded uniform with the school logo is not required.
Wearing school uniform contributes to a positive school ethos and helps avoid discrimination and reduces peer pressure to wear expensive designer clothing.
Our school uniform can be purchased from your local retailer including supermarkets. The school colours are Green, Grey & Black. We encourage children to wear any green or grey sweatshirt or cardigans with grey or black trousers or skirts in P1-P6. Pupils are also encouraged to wear a white polo shirt. P7 Pupils are allowed to wear a black jumper, sweatshirt or cardigan with trousers or skirts. The school does have a tie but this is optional uniform that can be purchased for £5.00 using parentpay and collected from the school office. Shoes should be black and unbranded – velcro fastening is helpful if your child is still learning to tie shoelaces. The school has a small supply of appropriate uniform in various sizes that any pupil is welcome to have. The following websites to may also be useful:

A school’s reputation can also be enhanced in the local community by the wearing of school uniform and school security will be improved as it will be easier to identify intruders.
Please help us by ensuring that pupils do not bring valuable or expensive items of clothing to school.
PE Kit
The appropriate clothing and footwear for PE is a T-shirt, shorts and gym shoes with non-marking soles. These are necessary for health and safety reasons and your co-operation is requested to ensure that pupils are equipped to participate in the PE lessons. Please note, no football strips should be worn in school as these often lead to incidents of rivalry.
Please ensure that all items of clothing are clearly labelled, particularly ties, sweatshirts and PE equipment which are often lost.
