Uniform Standard

We have adapted our uniform standard to be inclusive and accessible for all. Our uniform expectations maximises cost effectiveness, comfort and options for families.

We all take pride in the appearance of our school and its pupils. The school uniform does much to enhance the ethos within the school and we hope that parents/carers will support the school by encouraging the wearing of the recommended uniform that clearly identifies them as a Balwearie High School pupil. More importantly, however, we hope that our pupils will be proud to be identified with Balwearie High School by wearing the following clothing:

Bottoms

• Black trousers, black leggings, plain black joggers (as plain as possible, not branded)
• Black shorts (not sports shorts)
• Black skirts

Tops

• Balwearie logo, quarter zip top (https://www.balweariehigh.co.uk/Young-Enterprise-Uniform-Shop/)
• White shirt / polo shirt
• School tie
• Black jumper or cardigan (non-hooded) which allows the tie to be visible
• Blazers welcomed but not essential
• Outer jacket which will be removed in classes

Footwear 

• Predominantly black footwear appropriate for school

SCHOOL BAGS

Pupils carry books and equipment from class to class and will all soon receive an iPad as part of the Transforming Learning Project. It is therefore essential that they have robust school bags to protect jotters, folders and iPads.

The school holds information on bags promoted by the National Back Pain Association - please don't hesitate to contact us if you'd like further information on this.

Should you require any support in providing any school uniform items, please find further information in the Cost of the School Day section of our website - https://www.balweariehigh.co.uk/Parents/Cost-of-the-school-day/

CLOTHES RECOMMENDED FOR PHYSICAL EDUCATION

For indoor work, pupils should wear a plain T-shirt or top, shorts/leggings and training shoes. (The shoes should be different from the ones they come to school in and the soles should be non-marking).

Tracksuit trousers or leggings can be worn for outdoor activities along with a sweatshirt, jumper or top. Trainers are suitable for all outdoor activities, including the astroturf pitch.

All clothes should have the owner's name clearly marked on them. Pupils are responsible for the safe custody of their own kit. Pupils' valuables will be collected at the beginning of each PE lesson. If a pupil omits to hand over valuables and they go missing, then the school may not be held responsible for the loss.
