At Rucstall Primary School, we believe that wearing school uniform helps children to feel part of our school community, promotes a sense of pride in the school and supports them in being ready to learn. We expect children to wear school uniform and ask parents to support us in ensuring that children come to school dressed appropriately.
Where uniform does not meet our policy, we will contact parents to discuss the issue and seek their support in ensuring that it is resolved. Children are also expected to tuck in their polo shirts and wear their uniform neatly.
School uniform should be selected from the following items:
School Bags:
PE and Sports Clothing Kit List:
General Information
There should be no snoods, hats, sunglasses or neckerchiefs and no makeup or nail varnish.
Our Suppliers
School uniform requiring the school logo can be purchased from two suppliers:
Water bottles are available from the school at a cost of £2 (branded is not essential)
Other non-branded or generic uniform items are purchasable from any uniform stockist or more widely in supermarkets etc.
Please Remember
Valuables and Lost Property
It is essential that all items of clothing and bags should be clearly marked with the child’s name. A number of items go missing across the year so please ensure all uniform is clearly labelled with your child’s name so it is easy to reunite any lost items easily. We do not keep ‘lost property’, so named items will be returned to children immediately to be stored in their new cubby holes/lockers. Unclaimed and unnamed items are disposed of on a fortnightly basis.
Second-hand uniform
We have arrangements in place to help families access second-hand school uniform. If you are interested in obtaining second-hand uniform, please contact the school office and we will signpost you to available stock or note your requirements should items become available.
If you are experiencing exceptional financial difficulty, please contact the school in confidence. We may be able to offer support directly or signpost you to additional sources of assistance.
