Uniform

All North Lanarkshire schools must have a dress code which encourages pupils to dress in a way which is appropriate to attendance at school. This dress code must not lead to direct or indirect discrimination on the grounds of race, religion, gender or disability.

In Holytown Primary, the wearing of school uniform is expected and actively encouraged.

Except for the school fleece and blazer, we would encourage parents/carers to buy unbranded supermarket jumpers, cardigans and polo shirts. These can easily be passed on to family members and sent to charity shops when your child has grown out of them.

Suitable clothing for PE Lessons

Children can come to school dressed in their PE kit on PE days. Please ensure your child has appropriate weatherproof clothing with them on PE days as many PE lessons take place outdoors.

On any occasion, if you consider it unwise for your child to take part in PE, please let a member of staff know by email, phone call or speaking to the head teacher at the gate.

 

For safety reasons all jewellery must be removed for PE lessons and where possible not worn on PE days.

If a child regularly forgets the necessary clothing and footwear for PE, you will be contacted to ensure you are aware of this situation and you will be asked to assist in reminding your child in bringing/wearing their PE on the appropriate days.

 

Clothing which is unacceptable in school under any circumstances includes items which:

• could potentially encourage factions (e.g. football colours)
• could cause offence (e.g. anti-religious symbolism or political slogans)
• could cause health and safety difficulties such as loose fitting clothing, dangling earrings, and other potentially dangerous jewellery – please note there is a requirement that all jewellery is removed prior to undertaking physical education activities
• are of flammable materials which may be a danger in certain classes (e.g. shell suits)
• could cause damage to flooring
• carry advertising in particular for alcohol or tobacco and
• could be used to inflict injury to other pupils or to be used by others to do so.
