Uniform
The current uniform of Dumfries Academy consists of a white shirt, black/grey trousers or skirt, a plain maroon jumper or cardigan and a maroon and white striped tie.Due to increasing pressure from pupils, as of January 2011 the wearing of a black jumper or sweatshirt was included in the school uniform. During the 2006-2007 academic year, a senior tie consisting of a black background with white and maroon stripes, and including the school crest, was introduced, along with an optional maroon blazer for girls and boys.

Famous quotes containing the word uniform:
“An accent mark, perhaps, instead of a whole western accent—a point of punctuation rather than a uniform twang. That is how it should be worn: as a quiet point of character reference, an apt phrase of sartorial allusion—macho, sotto voce.”
—Phil Patton (b. 1953)
“When a uniform exercise of kindness to prisoners on our part has been returned by as uniform severity on the part of our enemies, you must excuse me for saying it is high time, by other lessons, to teach respect to the dictates of humanity; in such a case, retaliation becomes an act of benevolence.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“The maples
Stood uniform in buckets, and the steam
Of sap and snow rolled off the sugarhouse.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
