After consultation with staff and almost unanimous decision from pupils, it has been decided that ALL S5/6 pupils will be able to have braiding on their blazers! Academy Uniforms can add braiding and will be in school on Friday 21st June from 10am-12pm to accommodate this and any other uniform requests from current pupils in all years. A price for braiding is being negotiated and will be communicated asap. The choice is of course optional, as is the option of using Academy Uniforms.

Free School Meals and Clothing Grant Application Forms are available from the school office. Please check if you are eligible to receive support.
