High schools (Secondary schools) also have school scarves too. Well, 
the public schools anyway (by public I mean "private". I think. That 
always did get me confused). 

I attended a boarding school in England for quite a few years, and 
there was the house system, each house had its own colour and the 
scarf was the corresponding colour. =) I'm not sure if this was the 
norm, but the scarf was striped in two colours: the school colour and 
the house colour. 
(I know Cambridge has striped scarves too, but I'm not sure how that 
works.)

Do state schools have house/school colour scarves?
