School Uniform
School uniform is not compulsory at Rainow Primary School. However, we do encourage the wearing of uniform to create a sense of belonging to our community. To keep costs low and minimise environmental impact we promote donating unwanted uniform to friends and family. If you would like to donate used uniform to the Friends of Rainow School(our PTA), they will sell it to raise funds for the school. There are also excellent, class parent groups (WhatApp and other) which donate outgrown or unwanted items. You FRS class representatives will be happy to help or contact the school office to find out more.
You can purchase new uniform from Classworx who stock items with our school logo. Alternatively, you can purchase appropriately coloured items such as jumpers and polo shirts from your usual stores e.g. Tesco's.
