East Renfrewshire’s education boss has defended a Barrhead school’s new uniform policy after concerns were raised over the cost of tartan skirts.
St Luke’s High School is introducing a Black Watch tartan skirt for all year groups from August this year, with girls no longer able to wear plain black skirts.
Some parents have complained about the policy and, at a council meeting last night, Cllr Caroline Bamforth, SNP, said it wasn’t “appropriate” during a cost of living crisis.
