Little hen how do you do it, you're an eejit wee girl! Poke three holes in a bin liner, squeeze your head through one & your arms through the others & lets try & keep that uniform good in future!
As Rowlfe said before though the acetone would do the job (at your own risk), keep me fingers crossed for ya!
Or treat yourself to a new uniform!

Acetone will dissolve super glue. I happened to be at an emergency room with a freind when someone came in with his fingers glued together. He squeezed the tube too hard and it popped getting glue all over his fingers, which promptly stuck together. They used acetone to dissolve the glue. Worked like a charm, but it did take a few minutes to work and his skin ended up very dry because the acetone dissolved out the oils in the skin. Anyway, acetone is the active ingredient in nail polish remover which is why someone else suggested this. If you do not have acetone readily available as emergency rooms do, get the non-scented kind of nail polish remover and try it on a corner. Acetone will dissolve some synthetic fabrics, so try it first on a place where you can afford to have the material damaged, and if it works OK without damaging anything, you can soak the glue and blot it with something like a paper towel. Be aware that it may not all come out and still may leave a mark or a stain.

As soon as possible apply nail varnish remover to the area(be aware some clothes color may be affected) work the material between your fingers the glue will soften, rinse with cold water,wash as normal. For Denim try dry ironing the reverse of the fabric,

With acetone, most finger nail polish removers are acetone. I would try an area of it that will not be noticeable to see if it will discolor it first though.

You could try nail polish remover or alcohol but then you may have to discard your uniform...Sorry!! If your uniform is colored you may blotch it with a permanent ring. Have you tried acetone. Be real careful with acetone becausse it is flammable!!!!

dab some lighter fluid or denatured alcohol or acetone or paint thinner or 1 part ammonia and 4 parts cool water or nail polish remover or eucalyptus oil.

You can try fingernail polish remover or superglue remover, but you will want to test it first so you don't damage it.
