Dress Code
We do not have a school uniform as such, although we adhere to Glasgow City Council’s ideals regarding dress which is unacceptable in schools, such as items of clothing which:
- Potentially encourage factions (such as football colours)
- Could cause offence (such as anti-religious symbolism or political slogans)
- Could cause health and safety difficulties (such as loose-fitting clothing/ straps etc, jewellery)
- Carry advertising particularly for alcohol or tobacco
Clothing Recommendations
Children need to be comfortable and relaxed. They have the best fun when they do not worry about getting their clothes dirty. Please ensure your child wears clothes that can allow for paint or other messy materials. Please also ensure that your child has suitable outdoor clothing should staff take children out for a walk or to learn outside (an integral part of their curriculum).
Sand shoes are the most practical for our children to change into from their outdoor shoes as they are comfortable and are not likely to accidentally hurt anyone during physical play. Wellington boots are the most practical for much of our outdoor play, given the Scottish climate.
Children may occasionally have to change into dry clothes through becoming wet whilst playing or when toilet-training. Please ensure that your child has a change of clothing (including underwear) in their school tote bag, plus nappies and wipes should they be required.
School Meals
All children’s snacks and lunches are fully funded by the Scottish Government. Should your child have food allergies or dietary requirements please inform the school of these. A letter from your GP will be required as proof of evidence for Glasgow City Council.
Children’s Absence
We place great emphasis on attendance, and it is important that your child attends regularly for continuity in their learning. Although not statutory education, we have obligations through Child Protection Procedures to check on absences.
Should your child be absent we request that you telephone us to record the absence and inform us of the reason why. Should your child continue to be absent please contact us every few days with an update.
