Policy on School Uniform

Dressing for Excellence

In East Renfrewshire we strive to achieve our vision.

Supporting Schools to robustly implement school uniform / dress codes is an important way of reinforcing this drive for excellence.

Having a high standard of uniform can:

  •  contribute to school security and personal safety;
  •  instil pride in the school and contribute to its values;
  •  promote a positive and professional work ethic;
  •  help pupils to see schools as places of learning ;
  •  support positive behaviour;
  •  encourage identity with, and support for, school ethos;
  •  promote equality of opportunity and social justice;
  •  protect children from social pressures;
  • foster a spirit of partnership among pupils, staff and home and
    school;

Dressing for Excellence is a policy approved by East Renfrewshire ‘s Education Committee and was formulated following discussions with head teachers and Parent Council chairpersons.
