Local Authority Policy<\/strong><\/p>\n
All Dumfries and Galloway schools must have a dress code which encourages pupils to dress in a way appropriate to attendance at school.\u00a0 This code must not lead to direct or indirect discrimination on the grounds of race, religion, gender, disability or poverty.\u00a0 Prior to drawing up the dress code, parents, pupils and staff should be fully consulted, and it is the expectation of Education Services that parents will be supportive of the dress code.\u00a0 Clothing which is unacceptable in school under any circumstances would include items which:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Could potentially encourage factions (eg football colours).<\/li>\n
- Could cause offence (eg anti-religious or political slogans).<\/li>\n
- Could cause health and safety difficulties (loose-fitting clothing, dangling earrings).<\/li>\n
- Are of flammable materials which may be a danger in certain classes.<\/li>\n
- Could cause damage to floors.<\/li>\n
- Carry advertising, (such as alcohol or tobacco).<\/li>\n
- Could be used to inflict damage on other pupils.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Parents in receipt of a grant for footwear and clothing from the authority will be encouraged to purchase items which are in accordance with the school dress code.\u00a0 The award of clothing grants is to assist with the cost of school clothing for families who are on a qualifying benefit or on low income. The current award is \u00a3150 per secondary school child. Guidance and more information is available at http:\/\/www.dumgal.gov.uk\/article\/15246\/School-clothing-grants<\/a><\/p>\n
While it would not normally be the policy of the authority to exclude a pupil from school solely based on his\/her dress, persistent refusal to respond to a reasonable dress code could be deemed to be a challenge to the Headteacher’s authority and thus be detrimental to the wellbeing of the whole school community.\u00a0 In such circumstances, a Headteacher could justify the use of the school disciplinary procedures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
A number of years ago the Sanquhar community decided that school uniform was the most affordable and practical way for children attending the school to demonstrate a pride and a sense of belonging in their community.\u00a0 School uniform is worn by the majority of pupils and they consistently set themselves high standards.
