  • Not another lost cardigan?!

    School uniform items hanging out of student property boxes

    Every day, we find lots of lost uniform items left all around the school and yard. Children abandon their cardigans and coats at the drop of a very small hat! These items are regularly collected and brought to lost property where they are searched for identifying information. We have a lovely lady in school who is equipped with a big list and whose job it is to process this school uniform and return it to the children's classroom for returning to the child. This is why it is so important to clearly mark all uniform items with your child's name. Unlabelled items are then sorted into clothing types and stored in boxes in the lost property area of the junior building for collection by parents/carers.

    Occasionally, it may happen that an item may be taken home by the wrong child, but this is usually returned on recovery of the error. Items left in the classroom are usually stored in the child's drawer.

    The above processes can take a number of days to complete, so please be patient.

    We know how much time, money and effort it can take to keep a child supplied with the correct uniform, so please feel free to take it from the Uniform Recycling Area next to the Lost Property Area. Unclaimed items from Lost Property which still have a lot of life in them, but are not named, are moved into the Uniform Recycling Area at the end of a term. Parents can also donate lightly-used uniform by bringing it to the office. All items are free of charge and can be borrowed, washed and returned or simply and taken (labelled) and used.
