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. Prior to drawing up the dress code the parents, pupils and staff were fully consulted. It is the expectation of the education authority that parents will be keen to support the dress code and written agreement may be sought.
We are very grateful for the smart appearance of our children, and this is due to superb parental support. The children are proud to be identified as a Shawhead Primary pupil by wearing their uniform.
The school uniform consists of:
- A blue and silver tartan school tie
- Black blazer or dark coloured jacket
- Navy blue sweatshirt or cardigan
- White polo shirt or white shirt
- Black school skirt, pinafore or trousers
- Navy and silver tartan skirt or pinafore (optional)
- Black shoes
The PE Kit consists of:
- White polo shirt or t-shirt
- Navy Shawhead Primary PE t-shirt (optional)
- Black jogging trousers, leggings or shorts
- Trainers or plimsolls
- Navy blue sweatshirt (for PE outdoors)
In the summer months children can wear black coloured shorts or a blue and white gingham summer dress. As a school we actively discourage the wearing of sports trousers with stripes down each leg, jeans, or cropped tops. For outdoor learning, depending on the time of year and weather conditions, children may require waterproof trousers, jacket and wellington boots.
School ties, sweatshirts and polo-shirts can be purchased from Scotcrest, 62 Clark Street, Airdrie ML6 6DW. Tel No 01236 768686.
Since all school uniform items appear identical it would be helpful if your child’s clothing could be named to aid identification, including their jacket.
