School Uniform

As a school we strongly encourage the wearing of school uniform. We believe it promotes a  sense of pride and identity and removes needless competition or peer pressure to items of  fashion clothing and footwear. Our school colours are black and gold, but we are happy to accept white polo shirts in lieu of gold. We encourage pupils to wear black shoes or black trainers.

The school is able to supply a number of uniform items on money with order basis and ordering usually takes place about four times each session. A stock of ties is available from the school office at anytime. Uniform items may also be purchased at anytime online from the My Clothing Website and the Fife SchoolWear Shop in Kirkcaldy
