Our School Uniform
Following consultation East Renfrewshire Education Committee have a detailed policy on school uniform entitled ‘Dressing for Excellence’. This is to encourage the wearing of school uniform, although account must be taken to prevent any direct or indirect discrimination on the grounds of race or gender.

It is important that all children wear an item of uniform that identifies them as a Netherlee pupil: This could be the badged sweatshirt or tie.
Our PTA order the school uniform, apart from summer dresses, and can be contacted via the Netherlee PTA page.
Badged Blazers
Whilst badged blazers do look very smart it is understandable that they may not always be practical.
All items of clothing should be clearly marked with the child’s name.
Items that are not appropriate:
There are forms of dress which are unacceptable in school, such as items of clothing which:
- potentially encourage faction ( 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 ear-rings, shell suits of flammable materials in practical classes.
- could cause damage to flooring
- carry advertising, particularly for alcohol or tobacco and
- could be used to inflict damage on other pupils or be used by others to do so
- Pupils should not wear make-up or jewellery to school.
