The wearing of school uniform is widely encouraged and helps to contribute to the children’s feeling of belonging to the school community. This, in turn, helps to build that positive ethos that we value so highly in Cross Arthurlie.
The school office maintains a reliable year-round stock of items bearing the official Cross Arthurlie Logo. Purchasing from the school helps us to buy in bulk and keep our prices low. We also have samples of uniform available for you to see prior to purchase.

- grey or navy sweatshirt

- white shirt (P6-7)
- school tie (P6-7)
School Clothing Guidelines
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 school uniform.
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 friction (such as football colours)
- could cause offence (such as anti-religious 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, and
- could be used to influct damage on other pupils or be used by others to do so.
