1. PROVISION
Responsibility for provision of clothing rests with the parents with the exception of Ceremonial Dress which is supplied by the School. Please note that the ceremonial uniform is an exclusive garment to the school and only ever on loan to pupils to wear on ceremonial occasions. It is unique, expensive and very difficult to replace. For this reason, a charge will be made to parents for any items damaged, lost or not returned.
2. SCHOOL UNIFORM/CEREMONIAL UNIFORM
All items of School uniform are available through the School Shop. However, items that are not peculiar to the School may be obtained from any source provided that the style, colour and material content matches the description on the clothing list. Normal day wear is the blazer with the lightweight v-necked pullover worn underneath if required. Boys wear mid grey trousers. Girls wear mid grey skirts which must be at least knee length. The School reserves the right to refuse to allow a pupil to wear unsatisfactory clothing.
All clothing and other items MUST BE MARKED with the pupil's name and initials, using an embroidered sewn-in label (for clothing items) or other permanent marking as appropriate. This service is available at a cost of £1 per item from the School Shop.
The School supplies to each pupil and maintains the full ceremonial uniform which comprises of the following:
1 pair Gordon Tartan Trews or Kilt
1 Blue Tunic 1 Glengarry or Tam o'Shanter
1 pair of red flashes for use with bottle green socks
Those pupils who are members of the Band are supplied with all Band Highland Uniform and accoutrements.
NOTE: Alterations to ceremonial uniform remain the sole responsibility of the school shop and are NOT to be undertaken by any other agency.
