This will allow us to order blazers in time for the new school term beginning in August 2021.

At Lochend, we purchase a blazer for all new S1 pupils. Owing to current restrictions, we are unable to run a traditional sizing drop-in. Therefore, the video and chart in the form should be used instead.

Blazers will be available for collection on the in-service days on Thursday 12th and Friday 13th August 2021.
