Uniform
The school dress code makes it obvious that each student is part of our school community - a caring community to be proud of. It is expected that our students turn up for school dressed properly for school.
For many years the school has had a dress code and you as parents have regularly registered overwhelming support for it. The help of parents is vital in this area. Although it is not always easy, only if parents insist on their youngsters wearing dress code will we continue to be successful.
At the start of this new school year, it has been good to see so many of our children and young people following the dress code. Thank you for your on-going support to help us achieve this.
We keep a watchful eye on dress code and are speaking to any students who are not following dress code. We may get in touch with home if there are any on-going problems about wearing suitable school dress.
We ask all students to remove outdoor wear as they come into school, and to stow these safely in a bag or a locker.

For all pupils from S1 to S6, school dress code is:
- Smart black trousers, or skirt (not tracksuit material, not faded or ripped, no leggings unless worn with skirt)
- Smart black tailored shorts (not PE shorts, badged sports shorts, 'hotpants' or close-fitting shorts such as cycling shorts.) Please note that shorts cannot be used in technology areas due to the risks involved - pupils will need to bring other trousers to cover up in these lessons.
- Plain white or black collared shirt
- School tie (S6 have their own tie)
- School Blazer or Black school jumper or Cardigan, preferably with school badge attached. No branded jumpers will be acceptable.
- Black or Brown footwear - no croc-type shoes or flimsy footwear please for health and safety reasons.
Scottish Borders Council has made it clear that the following categories of clothing are unacceptable in any of their schools in any circumstances:
- Clothes which could cause health or safety difficulties for the wearer or others (eg clothes with a flammability warning).
- Clothes which cause damage to the school(eg certain types of shoes).
- Clothes which could lead to indiscipline or poor behaviour (eg clothing associated with particular sporting factions or teams).
- Clothing which could cause offence to others in the school as a result of wording or pictures (eg certain t-shirts with explicit pictures or slogans, clothes which are too revealing, tight or short).
- Clothing which encourage the use of alcohol, tobacco, or drugs.
No student will be allowed to wear such clothes in school and you are asked to ensure that your son/daughter complies with this requirement.
