Crieff High School Uniform Policy
Pupils are encouraged to wear our school uniform. A school uniform not only enables pupils to identify with their school but research also shows that a school uniform continues to be the most economical way to clothe a pupil.
There will continue to be high expectations placed upon Crieff High pupils to wear our uniform and parents will be asked for their full support in this matter. A clean and tidy appearance, together with smart and sensible dress does help to foster an orderly and productive attitude to work. It also means we can easily identify any young people in those areas of the campus shared with the public.
Pupils should wear:
Many retail outlets stock most of these items. All new pupils are given a tie as a welcome gift from the Parent Council. Football strips, track suits or any clothes decorated with slogans or logos should not be worn in school. In the interests of safety, large earrings, and other jewellery may need to be removed, particularly in workshops or in Physical Education. Pupils should therefore avoid wearing these items. It is not advisable to bring expensive personal items to school as the school cannot accept liability for any loss or damage.
Please see our website for examples of school uniform.
Support in buying the school uniform can be found via Crieff Connexions:

At Crieff High School we communicate through several different channels –
Groupcall is used to send out information for parents via email or text. This could be an email about an event or an attendance text message.
Headteacher Updates are issued once a term – or as and when required. This is communicated via email, usually in the Sway format.
Pupil Bulletins are composed by Guidance and circulated for pupils. These include opportunities for the pupils and celebrations of success.
Website includes any communication that is sent out from the school. This allows parents to find things easily and not have to keep all emails.
Twitter/Facebook/Instagram social media forums are used to communicate any updates/news/information that we think pupils and parents would find interesting. It is used as a way to get messages out quickly to the school population, and is also linked to the website.
What is the PC?
The Crieff High School Parent Council aims to give a voice to parents and carers within the school community. It is made up of a core committee, who are voted on at the Annual General Meeting, and a wider group of parents and carers that contribute to meetings and work with school staff to help deliver the aims of the school and support pupil wellbeing.
Committee
Office bearers of the 2024-25 committee are:
Chair – Vacant
Vice Chair – Emma Martin

Focus
The focus of the Parent Council for the 2022-23 school year is to:
Meetings
Our meetings are open to everyone and we encourage all parents and carers to attend and help to influence future plans and support the school.
We normally have one or two meetings per term and you can join the Parent Council email list to receive meeting details directly (although information will also be sent out to parents and carers by the school). Items discussed are suggested by parents and staff and we are closely involved in developing school policies. There is plenty of time to raise issues, ask questions or comment on your experiences, or you can just listen to the updates.
In recent years we have helped to influence:
– School curriculum review and subject choices
– Mobile phone policy
– Anti-bullying policy
– School website development
– Learning during lockdown
– Extra-curricular sport
– Funding of school / extra-curricular activities
The meetings are attended by the Headteacher and other Senior Leadership Team staff, and we also hear regularly from the Head Girl and Boy. Our AGM is held in Autumn. Meetings are currently held online via Zoom although we are hoping to hold some in person /hybrid meetings at Strathearn Community Campus during 2022-23.
