UNIFORM 2026-2027

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 enhances school security.

School Uniform Items:

·       See above

Not acceptable:

• See above

• 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.

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.

Clothing Grants

Some families may be entitled to a school clothing grant per eligible child per financial year.  More information about this can be found at:

Please remember to label all pupils’ clothing and personal items with their name.  Numerous items of clothing and other items are handed into lost property and are never claimed, eventually being donated to charity each year.
