PROVISION

Responsibility for provision of clothing rests with parents, with the exception of ceremonial dress (known as 'Blues') which is supplied by the school (see below).

SCHOOL UNIFORM

All items of school uniform (except sports kit) are available from Valentino’s. However, items that are not particular to the School may be obtained from any source provided that the style, colour and material content matches the description on the clothing list. Normal day wear is the blazer with the lightweight v-necked pullover worn underneath if required. Boys wear mid-grey trousers. Girls wear mid-grey skirts, which must be at least knee length or mid-grey trousers.

 All clothing and other items MUST BE MARKED with the student's name and initials, using an embroidered sewn-in label (for clothing items) or other permanent marking as appropriate.

For further information on appearance and clothing, please see Day and Residential Handbook  and Joining Pack.

Valentino's hold schoolwear discounts for items bought in store and online. Information on the discounts is available in the weekly Schoolcomms Bulletin.

House HoodIE

Each House has a different coloured hoodie that students can wear for Inter-House competitions. These garments are not a compulsory purchase and parents are under no obligation to order one. However, if you would like to, please click on the webshop link below.

CEREMONIAL UNIFORM 'Blues'

The School supplies and maintains the full ceremonial uniform to each student, which comprises the following:

• 1 pair Gordon Tartan Trews or Kilt
• 1 Blue Tunic
• 1 Glengarry or Tam o'Shanter
• 1 pair of red flashes (for use with ‘piper’s green’ socks which parents are to buy for girls from Valentino’s)

The ceremonial uniform will be issued once a student starts at Gordon's, regular swaps can be made to make sure the uniform fits correctly. These will be made via the 'Swap Shops', dates for which are communicated through the Friday schoolcomms messages.

Those students who are members of the Band are supplied with all Band Highland Uniform and accoutrements.

NOTE: Alterations to ceremonial uniform remain the sole responsibility of the school and are NOT to be undertaken by any other agency.
