Our School Uniform
At Runwell Primary School we seek to promote a strong sense of community and belonging, and believe this is enhanced by our pupils wearing a consistent uniform. We believe that this uniform should be practical and fit for purpose, enabling children to learn and play in an unencumbered way whilst still looking smart and promoting a sense of pride in their appearance.
We want the children in our nursery to wear a form of uniform which is comfortable and suitable for learning indoors and out! Please see our Outdoor Nursery page for more information.
Religious Observance / Medical Conditions – If you wish for your child to wear any other / additional items for the purposes of religious observance or due to medical requirements, please make the school aware so that your child is not challenged by staff for non-adherence to the policy.
