School Uniform
We have a school uniform which we encourage children to wear.
Mid Calder uniform consists of grey trousers/skirt, white shirt/blouse and a red and silver striped school tie. Our P7 learners will be given their own unique P7 tie when the begin P7. An embroidered school badge is available for those who wish to buy a blazer. Alternatively, a red/white polo shirt and silver grey or red sweatshirt are equally acceptable. These are more popular with pupils. In summer, a red and which checked gingham dress is a practical alternative for girls in fine weather. Items of uniform are available from the school office including waterproof and fleece jackets bearing the school logo. The school badge on items is not essential as we do understand the added cost this can have. Shoes should be black.

For PE, a white t-shirt and black gym shorts are required. You can purchase a school t-shirt from the school office. In line with West Lothian Council dress code policy for school children, we ask that pupils do not wear sports tops associated with particular football teams or which carry inappropriate logos. Children are encouraged to keep PE kit and soft shoes in school for use at any time although we do also encourage children to come dressed in PE kits on their PE days. In the interests of safety and security, the wearing of jewellery is discouraged, particularly hooped and dangly earrings.
We recommend that all articles of clothing are clearly marked with your child's name. This makes it much easier to reunite children with misplaced clothing.
The Council will not be responsible for loss of or damage to pupils' clothing and personal belongings including mobile phones and devices. Valuable items, including jewellery and unnecessarily expensive articles of clothing, should not be brought to school.
School Clothing Grants are available to parents in receipt of a qualifying benefit; application forms are available from the school or online.
The Council's Dress Code for Schools Policy is available online at westlothian.gov.uk.
