SCHOOL UNIFORM
At Holy Family we strongly encourage all our pupils to wear school uniform. It helps to promote positive attitudes towards our school and a strong sense of identity instilling a pride amongst our pupils in belonging to Holy Family.
Our school uniform consists of:
grey sweatshirts with embroidered school logo or grey or red cardigan
red polo shirts with embroidered school logo
plain grey or black school trousers/skirt/pinafore
in summer red gingham dresses can also be worn.
The embroidered school sweatshirts and polo shirts can only be purchased online from ‘My Clothing’ (www.myclothing.com) and leaflets explaining the procedure are available from the school office. Other embroidered items such as jackets and reading folders can also be bought from My Clothing.
Children should come to school each day prepared for the unpredictable Scottish weather. This includes a jacket, sun cream or waterproof footwear as required.
Children should have all clothing clearly named and all pupils are asked to have a pair of gym shoes permanently at school for wearing daily. Please contact us if you require support with providing any items of clothing or footwear.
Pre -loved school uniforms are available at the front foyer next to the office. Please help yourself to any of these items.
We always welcome uniform donations. Please hand these to the school office. Thank you.
On gym days children can come to school dressed for sports. This can include jogging bottoms, leggings, shorts and a t-shirt or jumper. Clothing can be any colour but must be suitable for PE. No football shirts or denim to be worn in school at any time.
