have the opportunity to order school sweatshirts and polo shirts incorporating the
school logo. Order forms are available from the office.

Please make sure that your child’s clothing and personal items are
CLEARLY marked with his or her name. It is advisable to provide a pump
bag to keep your child’s PE kit in. Please ensure that this bag is also
clearly labeled.

Space is limited in classrooms and cloakrooms and so we are unable to
accommodate large sports bags or rucksacks. Please think small!

LOST PROPERTY

Each child will be expected to take care of his / her own property. Items that are
found and are identifiable will be returned to their owner. Other items will be kept
for half a term in a box available to parents, located in the Key stage 1 entrance.
Thereafter the school will dispose of items.

As a school we make every effort to assist in locating mislaid belongings
(lunchboxes, clothing, musical instruments, stationery items, jewellery, glasses
etc.). However, neither the school nor the Local Authority insures personal
property for loss or damage.

All children have places to hang their coats etc. trays for their personal items and
we provide somewhere for lunchboxes to be stored. We do ask that all items are
named clearly this helps us to help you when items are mislaid.
