School dress code
Pupils at Arran High will start the next term with a new dress code. While uniform will not be compulsory, not wearing it will be discouraged.
Parents who are on benefits will receive a grant so that they can afford the new uniform which is available to purchase at the school. The badged uniforms, say many parents, will actually save money as many children of school going age like designer labels so an element of one-upmanship is ever-present when purchasing clothing for school.
