Uniform Change September 2019

Consultation on a change to the current uniform jumper has been ongoing for over a year. At a recent Board meeting a final decision was made on the appearance and style of the jumper. Pictured here is Luke Dillon in St. Fergus wearing the new approved School jumper with an updated crest and yellow neck stripe.

A gradual phase in period has been also agreed by the Board so as to allow for minimum financial impact on parents.

The new jumpers will be compulsory for:

All new 1^st years in September 2019
All new 1^st years in September 2020 and
All students in September 2021

The Board have also instructed all future uniforms stocked in shops to be of a single high quality jumper type (70%/30% - acrylic/wool combination) so as to ensure they are long lasting.
