Many parents have asked about wearing the "choir uniform" on a more regular basis. From September 2018 we could introduce the option for pupils in P3 to P7 to wear a shirt, tie and v-neck jumper on a daily basis. The v neck will not have a logo on it and will be widely available from outlets including supermarkets. The school sweatshirt and polo shirt will remain for all pupils to wear throughout the school therefore giving more choice and options for all parents.
Would you welcome a wider range of uniforms that our pupils can wear? |

Many schools put a significant number of photographs on their social media on a daily basis. We intentionally limit the number of photos that we post on social media, preferring instead to post on our website.
Would you like to see more photos on our social media pages? |
