Over 500 students responded to the Bellahouston Academy School Uniform Consultation in 2012. Majority of students wanted improvements, including a shorter style school cardigan and a blazer for all year groups. The new uniform, to be implemented from August 2012, includes plain black blazers, white shirts/blouses, school ties, embroidered v-neck jumpers/sweatshirts/cardigans, and two styles of school skirts. The new uniform offers easy identification, uniformity, simplicity, and central availability. There is a design competition for the school emblem to be embroidered onto the jumpers/cardigans.
