Renfrewshire Education Committee strongly encourages the wearing of an agreed school uniform because of the many benefits which flow to the school and families. Each school’s clothing policy should be approved by a majority of pupils, parents and staff.
There are forms of dress which are unacceptable in school, such as items of clothing which:
potentially, encourage faction (such as football colours)
could cause offence ( such as anti-religious symbolism or political slogans)
could cause health and safety difficulties, such as loose fitting clothing, dangling earrings, track suits of inflammable material in practical classes;
could cause damage to flooring;
carry advertising, particularly for alcohol or tobacco;
could be used to inflict damage on other pupils or be used by others to do so; and
are valuable or expensive items of clothing or jewellery which presents a security issue for the school.
