Uniform
Renfrewshire Council encourages each school to adopt a dress code and for any proposed changes to be discussed with parents, pupils and the parent council. The council supports an agreed dress code because of the benefits it brings, including improvements in safety, security, discipline, ethos, community spirit and a decrease in bullying and
expense for parents.
Some types of clothing will not be allowed in school for reasons of safety, decency or indiscipline. Types of clothing which will not be allowed include:
- clothes which are a health or safety risk;
- clothes which may damage the school building;
- clothes which may provoke other pupils;
- clothes which are offensive or indecent; and
- clothes which encourage the use of alcohol or tobacco.
Pupils will not be deprived of education, any benefit or access to examinations because of not wearing school uniform. In the interests of health and safety, of both individual and others present, all jewellery, including body jewellery, must be removed before taking part in physical education lessons or physical activities.
Gleniffer High School parents and the Parent Council have expressed their wish to see school uniform worn and we do believe that it helps pupils to identify with the school and to feel part of our community. The uniform consists of:
- black or dark coloured warm and waterproof jacket;
- white blouse or shirt and school tie;
- black tailored trousers (no leggings, jeans or jogging bottoms) or black skirt;
- black shoes;
- Gleniffer High School pullover or plain black pullover (without hood) or cardigan;
- Gleniffer High School blazer for S6
PE kit is available for purchase from local suppliers.
Grants for footwear and clothing for children are available to parents receiving certain benefits. Please see the council’s website: http://www.renfrewshire.gov.uk/Freeschoolmealsandclothinggrants
