Dressed for School is an interdisciplinary and international research funded by the French National Museum of Education (Munae, Rouen, France), in partnership with Heriot-Watt University and the Glasgow School of Art (UK), the Royal Society of Edinburgh and ACORSO. Dressed for School investigates clothing at School, from the beginning of the 19th century onwards, in France, with a comparative approach to the UK and countries where the school uniform is the norm. The impact of this multifaceted project addressing the vivid debate around school uniforms and secularity in France, demonstrates the importance of clothing as an educational and socialising tool, as well as a key feature of both school heritage and children material culture.
