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.
We are very grateful for the smart appearance of our children and this is due to support from parents and carers. The children are proud to be identified as Woodlands Primary School pupils by wearing their uniform.
The school uniform consists of:
- White shirt and school tie
- Green sweatshirt or cardigan
- Red polo shirt
- Black/tartan school skirt, pinafore or trousers.
PE days
Since our return in August 2021, we ask that on PE days children wear their gym kit to school
The PE kit consists of:
- Plain shorts or leggings and a polo shirt
Clothing which is unacceptable in school under any circumstances includes items which:
- could potentially encourage factions (e.g. football colours etc)
- could cause offence (e.g. anti-religious symbolism or political slogans etc).
- could cause health and safety difficulties such as loose fitting clothing, dangling earrings, and other potentially dangerous jewellery.
- 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 damage on other pupils or be used by others to do so.
The council wishes to minimise claims arising from the loss of pupils’ clothing and/or personal belongings. Parents are asked to assist in this area by ensuring that valuable items and unnecessarily expensive items of clothing, jewellery etc. are not brought to school. Parents should note that any claims submitted to cover the loss of such items are likely to be met only where the authority can be shown to have been negligent.
