Uniform

The Governors, staff and parents support the wearing of a school uniform.  Our children are proud to belong to Rufford School and enjoy wearing their uniform. 

We believe that all children should wear clothing that is in keeping with a purposeful learning ethos. We also believe that certain school activities are facilitated by specialised and appropriate clothing (including organised events outside normal school hours).
