Here in St Margaret’s High School, we strongly believe in the importance of wearing our school uniform to promote inclusion, equity, and a sense of belonging. Our uniform policy aims to reduce peer pressure linked to fashion brands, ensure pupil safety through easy identification, and to maintain the strong identity within our local community. It also seeks to support families by providing cost-effective guidance and simplifying uniform requirements. Our School Uniform Policy for 2025-26 can be found here: SMHS-UNIFORM-POLICY-2025-26
Our uniform consists of:
- Burgundy Blazer – purchased from Scotcrest Uniforms
- White formal shirt or blouse
- School tie – specific design for S1–4, S5 & S6 (S6 will receive a commemorative tie in August 2025)
- Grey trousers or skirt (girls may wear burgundy/tartan skirt from Scotcrest)
- Black footwear/shoes
- No visible designer logos or labels (hoodies are not permitted inside the school building
PE Kit
- White T-shirt or official school T-shirt or school hoodie
- Black shorts, joggers, tracksuit bottoms, or leggings
- Warm clothes for outdoor activities
- Training shoes for indoor and outdoor activities
We kindly ask parents to help support and maintain the standard of blazer, shirt, and tie a all times. Jumpers must allow the tie to remain visible and should not display designer branding.
