School Dress Code/Uniform
We often receive comments from people who visit the school about
how smart everyone looks in their uniform. We are very proud of the Gracemount
High school uniform and Dress Code which was agreed with pupil council and
parents. However there are a number
of pupils regularly turning up incorrectly dressed. There will be a
strong focus on Uniform over the next few weeks so you are reminded that if for
any reason you arrive at school without full uniform you must see the relevant
depute before registration. Mrs Fraser will be able to lend some items of
uniform during registration but remember a deposit will be required.
Pupils will not be allowed out of lessons to collect uniform or iPads. If
you are not clear what our dress code is visit the website or collect a leaflet
from the office but the key points are:There will be a Pupil Voice meeting today during period 2. Anyone who wishes to attend must register with their period 2 class teacher and get permission before coming down.
