Senior School Uniform
Pupils should make sure they are wearing the correct School uniform at all times.
The rules on appearance are in operation at all times when uniform is being worn, and thus do not change after 3.25pm, at weekends, on school trips or during examination study leave.
We have two official stockists who supply regulation school uniform and sportswear items. Both have local and online stores where you should find everything you need.
Boys’ Uniform Guidelines
- Blazers should be worn to and from school and when walking around the campus. You may wear badges related only to school achievements.
- School puffa jacket – whilst we recognise and respect parents right to choose an appropriate jacket for winter months, we believe the Dollar Puffa represents value for money and encourages a sense of belonging and school pride. This should be worn over the blazer during winter months.
- Dark grey (charcoal) or black trousers (not jeans)
- A navy-blue V neck jumper, navy cardigan or Dollar Academy branded mid-layer can be worn when the weather turns colder: no hoodies or fleeces. Whatever is worn under the shirt or blouse should not draw attention to itself.
- White long or short sleeved shirt.
- Dollar Academy tie
- In Form VI pupils wear the silver prefect tie, available from Henderson’s Outfitters for £15.
-
Prefects are also required to wear the silver and blue prefect cuff braids on their blazer, available from Miss Langley for £1.00. The Top 6 have gold and blue prefect braids.
- Plain black socks
- Black polished shoes
- School scarf (optional – but only a regulation Dollar scarf to be worn)
