At Falkland Primary we believe that children should be proud to be part of the school. The wearing of our uniform helps us create a very positive ethos where everyone is part of our school community. It gives children a sense of belonging and avoids arguments at home about what they may or may not wear to school. The uniform consists of a green school sweatshirt, white/green polo shirt, grey/black skirt or trousers and black school shoes. Currently, school sweatshirts, polo shirts and other items can be ordered direct from our uniform supplier—Border Embroideries. Children are required to change into gym shoes or trainers, shorts and t-shirts for PE. We also have storage for outdoor footwear to allow the pupils access to the playing field during break and lunch. Please ensure that all items of clothing and footwear are clearly named.
