Èideadh Sgoil/School Uniform
At Sgoil an Rubha we encourage the wearing of school uniform and seek parental co-operation in this. We believe that the wearing of school uniform helps pupils to feel a sense of pride in their school and also fosters a feeling of ‘belonging’. This goes a long way to maintaining school standards and general morale.
Our uniform consists of:
For formal occasions e.g Mod, Prize Giving etc
- white shirt/blouse
- dark trousers/skirt
- school tie
- ‘sensible’ footwear
For less formal occasions and day to day wear
- red sweatshirt/cardigan/top with school badge
- dark trousers/skirt
- ‘sensible’ footwear
There are forms of dress which are unsuitable in school, such as items of clothing which:
- could cause offence
- carry advertising, particularly for alcohol
- could cause health and safety difficulties (such as “chunky” rings, neck chains, dangling or hooped earrings) etc
- could potentially encourage faction (such as football strips).
School uniform can be ordered online from www.leonardhudson.co.uk
Being an environmentally aware school, we also have a uniform swap shop in the front foyer, where pre-loved uniform can be dropped off/picked up.
