The Scottish Government is asking pupils, parents and carers to share their views on school uniforms in a new consultation to help shape future national guidance.
There is no legal requirement to wear a school uniform in Scotland and the new guidance is not intended to change this or to mandate the wearing of one, however, the Scottish Government said a key aim of the guidance will be to reduce costs for families, while ensuring pupils can go to school feeling comfortable and ready to learn.
Local authorities and individual schools decide on school uniform policy at local level in Scotland and the national guidance, which will be underpinned by a range of principles, will inform those policies.
