School Uniform

Please ensure ALL school uniform and clothing are labelled with your child’s name and class to ensure returned if misplaced.

The school uniform is:

• School tie and white shirt or blue polo shirt
• Grey trousers
• Grey skirt/pinafore
• Blue jumper/ fleece
• Blue and white summer dresses

Sweatshirts, cardigans, polo shirts, blazers, fleeces, rain jackets, t shirts, gym bags, book bags and ties with the school logo are available for purchase from the school office or directly from the supplier or at www.schoolwearmadeeasy.com. As most of our school is carpeted we also require pupils to have a pair of plain, black, soft indoor shoes for wearing indoors. For the Lunchtime Pitch we also request an old pair of shoes and a pair of joggers or bottoms in a labelled bag.

Our uniform was agreed in consultation with pupils and parents.  It is expected that all children attending Caldercuilt Primary School will adhere to this dress code.

PE Kit

It is important that pupils come prepared to learn and for PE this requires appropriate clothing.  All jewellery should be removed.  Pupils who are not participating in PE must have a note or a medical certificate.  Pupils who are unable to participate in practical PE should still bring their kit to allow them to assist in the lesson by refereeing, keeping scores or assisting with the distribution of equipment. This ensures that they are still able to take part in some way in the work of the class and do not miss out on the knowledge and understanding of the course.

There are forms of PE Kit that are unacceptable in school, such as items of clothing which:

• Potentially encourage factions (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, jewellery)
• Could cause damage to flooring
• Carry advertising particularly for inappropriate items such as alcohol or tobacco
• Could be used to inflict damage on other pupils

Clothing & Footwear Grants

Parents/Carers receiving Income Support, Job Seekers Allowance (Income Based), Working Tax Credit, Housing Benefit, or Council Tax Benefit will normally be entitled to monetary grants for footwear and clothing for their children. The clothing and free school meal grants also impact on resources for the school so information and application forms may be obtained at:https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=17885  We encourage everyone to apply even if you think you are not entitled because it does make a difference to supports and resources the school receives.

Lost property

The school collects all items found within the school that are unlabelled in a container at the main entrance. Please contact school office if you are missing items.

Uniform Exchange

We proudly provide a uniform exchange at the main entrance where families can donate preloved uniform and also families can, in privacy, select uniform items at no cost to assist in ensuring all children can come to school in Caldercuilt uniform.
