School Uniform

School dress

Renfrewshire Council encourages each school to adopt a dress code and for any proposed changes to be discussed with parents, pupils and the parent council. The council supports an agreed dress code because of the benefits it brings, including improvements in safety, security, discipline, ethos and community spirit, and a decrease in bullying and expense for parents.

Some types of clothing will not be allowed in school for reasons of safety, decency or indiscipline. Types of clothing which will not be allowed include:

  • Clothes which are a health or safety risk;
  • Clothes which may damage the school building;
  • Clothes which may provoke other pupils;
  • Clothes which are offensive or indecent; and
  • Clothes which encourage the use of alcohol or tobacco, or other inappropriate substances.

Pupils will not be deprived of education, any benefit or access to examinations because of not wearing school uniform.

In the interests of health and safety, of both individual and others present, all jewellery, including body jewellery, must be removed before taking part in physical education lessons or physical activities.

Grants for footwear and clothing for children are available to parents receiving certain benefits.  Please see the council’s website: http://www.renfrewshire.gov.uk/Freeschoolmealsandclothinggrants

Information and application forms for free school meals are available from schools, registration offices and customer service centres. A form can be downloaded from the council’s website: http://www.renfrewshire.gov.uk/Freeschoolmealsandclothinggrants

Please help the school and the education authority by making sure that pupils do not bring valuable or expensive items of clothing to school. The council has no insurance to cover the loss of valuable items.

What is the School Uniform at Langbank Primary?

The suggested uniform for Langbank Primary School is:

  • White shirt with school tie
  • Polo shirt
  • Grey skirt or trousers
  • School blazer, fleece or jacket
  • Red jumper, sweatshirt or cardigan
  • Black or dark shoes

In the interests of health and safety, children should have suitable clothing for P.E.  We would suggest shorts, cotton t-shirt and sandshoes – not outdoor training shoes.  For convenience, P.E clothing should be kept in a drawstring bag

On class gym days, a school sweatshirt and polo-shirt may be worn for ease of changing.

Please note that the wearing of jewellery in P.E is not permitted in the interest of safety.  Earrings must be removed by pupils prior to P.E lessons
