Dumfries and Galloway Council
Uniform and Dress Policy
All Dumfries and Galloway schools must have a dress code which encourages pupils to dress in a way appropriate to attendance at school. This code must not lead to direct or indirect discrimination on the grounds of race, religion, gender, disability or poverty. Prior to drawing up the dress code, parents, pupils and staff should be fully consulted, and it is the expectation of Skills, Education and Learning Directorate that parents will be supportive of the dress code.
Clothing which is unacceptable in school under any circumstances would include items which:
• Could potentially encourage factions (eg football colours).
• Could cause offence (eg anti-religious or political slogans).
• Could cause health and safety difficulties (loosefitting clothing, dangling earrings)
• Are of flammable materials which may be a danger in certain classes.
• Could cause damage to floors.
• Carry advertising, (such as alcohol or tobacco)
• Could be used to inflict damage on other pupils.
Parents in receipt of a grant for footwear and clothing from the authority will be encouraged to purchase items which are in accordance with the school dress code.
