Meldrum Academy Prospectus 2010

Every school has a Designated Officer who has been specially trained to
listen to concerns and act on them as necessary. (Mr David Martindale,
Depute Head Teacher Welfare & Pastoral Care, is our named officer).
Unless satisfied that a child has not been harmed or is not at risk of being
harmed, the school must relay their concerns immediately to the social work
service and/or the police. Social work and the police will determine when
and how the child’s parents/ carers and other services are to be informed
of the concerns."

15. SCHOOL UNIFORM
‘Successful schools have a strong identity and are proud of their school
uniform.’
Meldrum Academy is a school of which we are all very proud. Our school
uniform is the result of extensive consultation involving pupils, parents,
staff and the wider community.
A pride in ‘wearing the school colours’ is one of the cornerstones of identity
for a successful school. We hope that all parents and carers will work with
us to encourage all of our children to wear a smart uniform with an
identifiable crest. We expect all pupils to wear the Meldrum Academy
uniform in school and when representing the school across Scotland.
Pupils must show the school colours by wearing one of these items of
clothing.
A
White/black shirt with Meldrum Academy tie.
Or one of these
B School sweatshirt with Meldrum Academy crest
