uniform
In East Renfrewshire we strive to
achieve our vision of Inclusion,
Achievement, Ambition and Progress
for All in a variety of ways and
supporting schools to robustly
implement school dress codes / uniform
is another way of reinforcing our drive
for excellence in all that we do.
Given that there is substantial parental
and public approval of uniform, schools
in East Renfrewshire are encouraged
and supported by the Education
Committee and education Department
to actively promote the wearing of
approved items of school uniform. In
promoting the wearing of uniform,
account must be taken in any proposals
to prevent any direct or indirect
discrimination on the grounds of sex,
race, age, disability, sexual orientation
and religion of belief. Any proposals
should be the subject of widespread
consultation with parents and pupils.
There are forms of dress which are
unacceptable in school, such as items of
clothing which:
• fail to identify children / young
people as a pupil of their school
• are not in keeping with the school
ethos
• potentially, encourage faction (such
as football colours)
• could cause offence (such as antireligious
symbolism or political
slogans)
• could cause health and safety
difficulties, such as loose fitting
clothing, dangling earrings
• could cause damage to flooring
• carry advertising, particularly for
alcohol or tobacco
• could be used to inflict damage on
other pupils or be used by others to
do so.
Under no circumstances should pupils
be deprived of any educational benefit
as a result of not wearing uniform
and, in particular, pupils should not
be denied access to examinations as a
result of not wearing school uniform.
