UNIFORM 2025-2026

School Uniform

Pupils are expected to wear school uniform while at school and when participating in organised school trips or activities.  School Uniform is an important part of our ethos at Mintlaw Academy. This is because it supports concentration, reduces peer pressure, promotes pride in the school, and also enhances school security.

School Uniform for Mintlaw Academy is:

• White shirt and Mintlaw Academy tie

• Plain black trousers, skirt, jeans, leggings, or tailored shorts

• Sensible black footwear (can include all-black trainers)

• Mintlaw Academy black jumper/cardigan or black jumper

• Mintlaw Academy blazer (S5/S6 and S4 prefects, optional for S1-S4)

Other Dress Information:

For PE, pupils are expected to have a full change of PE kit including footwear and clothing suitable for participating in indoor and outdoor activities. Pupils should come to school in uniform and change back into this after PE.

Not acceptable:

• Hoodies and jumpers with logos, white or coloured footwear.

• Clothes with offensive slogans or drug/alcohol-related logos which are offensive for school.

• Clothing which is inappropriate for school (e.g. see through clothing, cropped tops)

• For safety reasons, excessively long or baggy trousers or garments made of flammable materials.
