Dress for success
Following consultation in April 2012 with the Parent and Pupil Councils, our pupil dress code was revised and changes implemented at the start of the new session in August 2012.
Our dress code aims to provide a cost-effective way for pupils to show that they are proud to belong to our school community and look very smart in the process.
Our Turnbull High School dress code requires all pupils to wear formal school uniform.
The school blazer complete with embroidered badge will be compulsory for ALL pupils. There are two styles of blazer available, fitted or traditional design, for both boys and girls. Plain black jackets, no logos or colours, may be worn over the blazer and removed upon arrival at school. Available from BARU (Kirkintilloch).
Only blue school shirts/ blouses that can be fastened to the top are acceptable. These should be traditional school wear clothing.
S1-S3 striped S4-S6 crested. The school tie should be full length when worn.

Hair accessories should be black.
We appreciate that this information is prescriptive. This is to ensure that there is no ambiguity as to what is acceptable with regard to school uniform. We expect the highest possible standards for our Turnbull school uniform; every pupil, every day, 100% uniform.
