School Uniform

We are very proud of the appearance of the children in Rowlands Gill Primary School.  Our uniform is a symbol of belonging to Rowlands Gill and underlines the sense of community we seek to develop. The children should take pride in their appearance and present a positive image for their school. We ask for your support in this matter.  On rare occasions we may need to talk to children and parents of our expectations with regard to dress.
