Buying Your Blazer and School Uniform

We encourage all of our pupils to wear full school uniform, including a Blazer. 

Blazers give our pupils a smart appearence, improve the ethos of the school, help make our pupils feel proud to be part of Bo'ness Academy and help keep them warm in class during the colder weather.

Why not Recycle?!

If you are finished with a blazer and it is still in good condition, why not return it to the school.  We are delighted to be able to recycle good blazers to a new home.

Our School Uniform

A Reminder, our School Uniform consists of:

  • Blazer
  • White shirt
  • School tie
  • Black skirt or trousers (no leggings or jeans)
  • Black shoes (no trainers)

Lost Property

Each year we have a mountain of lost property.  If your child's name is on their clothing and belongings we can easily reunite them with their lost possessions! 

We thank you for your continued support.

Car Park / School Road Health & Safety

The road through the school is becoming very congested at peak morning drop-off times. 

Pupils are being dropped off at the top end of the road which is preventing other cars, parents and school staff, from getting through. 

There is a danger that there will be a collision or that someone may get hurt.

We ask that pupils should be dropped off at the swimming pool end of the school, or better yet, at a safe area out of the school grounds.

Please also take care when collecting your child at the end of the day.

We thank you for your co-operation in this matter.
