School Uniform Consultation

1

Planning for 2014 –2015

Parents, carers and friends are advised that Oldmachar Academy is developing plans to imple-

ment a formal school blazer and tie for all students for August 2014. This builds on the steps we

took in the current session to implement these arrangements for S4—S6.

The blazer, modelled by students on the right is black in colour. A white shirt should be worn

with it. The tie is purple, with two pairs of stripes (grey and blue). There is an achievers tie (see

the students with Mr Brown on the next page), which is blue in colour which is awarded to stu-

dents who have had particular achievements. It is expected that boys wear black trousers and

shoes—girls have the option of wearing skirts, but these should be of reasonable length.

We had an arrangement last session with Logo-Xpress, who provide an ordering service for blaz-

ers. Logo-Xpress reps will brief parents on their service in the coming months. The Logo-Xpress

ordering and delivery facility is designed to take the hassle out of uniform buying for parents,

while ensuring quality.

The key dates section below shows how this will work.

Consultation Process

We have surveyed the perceptions of our parent body about

uniform and found that they supported the idea of extending

current arrangements to S1—S3. The Parent Council has sub-

sequently discussed this and endorsed the idea of consistenly

applying uniform policy.

Students have also been consulted in the recent S1—S3 par-

liaments and also in assemblies.

The planned briefings will also give parents the chance to

seek more information.
