School Improvement

This section gives you an overview of the main achievements of the school within the last twelve months and performance information relating to literacy, numeracy and health and wellbeing.

While Comhairle nan Eilean Siar is happy to provide this information, we do have some reservations that the publication of raw statistics, without any kind of informed qualification, can be misleading to the reader.  In particular, they should not be construed as offering an indication of the quality of education provided in any of our schools.

1. THE SCHOOL DAY

School uniform has been introduced as it presents an attractive appearance both in the school and when the children are out of school on visits or involved in other activities.  It helps parents avoid conflict over dress and alleviates socio-economic distinctions as well as producing a sense of belonging to the school community. 

All children are expected to wear the uniform.  The items chosen are available from a variety of children’s clothes shops, department stores and catalogues at reasonable cost.

BOYS

• Navy blue fleece or hooded top for outdoor wear
• Navy blue sweatshirt or jumper
• White or navy polo shirt with collar or white shirt
• Black or navy trousers
• Socks in any of the uniform colours
• Dark coloured footwear

GIRLS

• Navy blue fleece or hooded top for outdoor wear
• Navy blue sweatshirt, jumper or cardigan
• White or navy polo shirt with collar or white blouse
• Navy blue or black skirt, pinafore dress or trousers
• Socks (or tights in winter) in any of the uniform colours
• Dark coloured footwear

 PE KIT

• White or navy round necked T-shirt
• Plain navy blue or black shorts
• A change of footwear is desirable – plimsolls (preferably slip on) for infants.  Older children may wear training shoes
• Swimwear and towels are required for swimming

GENERAL 

• Denim Jeans are not acceptable School wear.

• Rings, necklaces and other jewellery can be dangerous in play and they should not be worn. Although studs or sleepers are permitted, fancy earrings cannot be worn in school
• Participation in PE is dependent on having suitable kit.  Children may not be allowed to take part in their normal school clothing. 
• It is most important that all clothing is labelled with the child’s name, as so many items of clothing are duplicated. Details of iron-on labels are available from the school.
• Missing items should be reported to the school office as soon as possible where every effort will be made to find and return missing items.  However, clothing is the responsibility of the individual pupil.  The school is not able to reimburse the cost of items lost.  A box of unclaimed school uniform items will be kept in the school and parents are welcome to check through them at any time.
