Labelling clothing and items

ALL ITEMS SHOULD BE CLEARLY MARKED WITH YOUR CHILD’S NAME

Personalised labels are available from our uniform supplier and many other companies to ensure all items are labelled correctly. 

Our PTA have arranged a special offer with the online supplier STIKINS who give a donation to the School PTA for every order made. They provide:

  • Stick-on name labels for clothes

  • No sewing or ironing needed

  • One pack of sticky name labels for clothes, shoes, & lunch boxes

To make an order just go to www.stikins.co.uk and remember to pop in our school's code 7729 in the School Fundraising Number box. The school receives a donation for every Stikins product you buy using this code.

 

Lost property

Lost property is located in the corridor outside the hall. Children should take responsibility for checking the lost property if they have misplaced an item. Every half term, there will be an opportunity for parents to view lost property. Any items not claimed will be disposed of termly. 


Additional Information 

  • Children are expected to look neat and tidy at all times.

  • Our uniform colours are yellow and navy blue. Items without logos in these colours may be purchased from other suppliers.

  • Items which have the school logo are only available from the school supplier. It is not compulsory to wear uniform items with a logo, although we do encourage this for school outings so that each child is easily identifiable as a member of the school.

  • If you struggle with the cost of purchasing your child's uniform, please come to the office for confidential advice.
