At Nant Celyn Primary School, we believe that wearing a school uniform helps to foster a sense of belonging, pride, and equality amongst our pupils. While school uniform cannot be made compulsory for primary-aged children, it is strongly preferred, and we ask all parents to make every effort to send their child to school in the correct uniform as outlined below. When children join Nant Celyn, parents agree to support our school policies, including our uniform expectations. Therefore, if a child attends school without the appropriate uniform, a reminder letter will be sent home. If the issue continues, school uniform will be provided for the child to wear during the school day.

We feel that a consistent approach to uniform helps children feel part of the school community and reduces the risk of discrimination or inequality. While we absolutely understand that it is easier for children to come to school dressed for PE or Forest School, we ask if this is the case, that they are wearing the appropriate uniform for that activity.

Where to Buy

Our main uniform supplier is Pretty Miss in Cwmbran (Tel: 01633 484408).  You can also order uniform online through the Tesco Uniform Embroidery Service. You can also purchase school badges from the office to affix using our embossing machine or for you to affix me at home. However, it is not expected that uniform items have the school logo.

Nant Celyn Primary School Uniform Bank

At Nant Celyn Primary School, we understand that the cost of school uniform can be a challenge for some families, especially as children grow quickly and clothing needs to be replaced regularly. To support our school community, we operate a Uniform Bank.

The Uniform Bank is a collection of good-quality, pre-loved school uniform items that are available to all families free of charge. It includes a range of items such as:

• Purple sweatshirts and cardigans
• Gold polo shirts, trousers, skirts, and dresses
• P.E. kit items Coats and shoes (subject to availability)

How It Works:

Families can request items discreetly by contacting the school office or speaking to a member of staff. Donations of clean, gently used uniform are always welcome and can be dropped off at the school office.

At the end of each term, we will also display available items for parents to browse and take as needed. The Uniform Bank is open to everyone, there is no need to qualify or explain. It is simply one way in which we can support each other and reduce waste while ensuring every child feels part of our school community. If you would like to access the Uniform Bank or make a donation, please get in touch with the school office. 

Lost Property

With over 450 pupils in school, items of clothing are occasionally misplaced. Parents are welcome to check the lost At the end of each term, all lost property will be displayed for parents to view. Unclaimed items will then be donated to local charity shops or recycled.
