Year 3 will have all their stationery provided for them
Notes
All items on the list marked * must be obtained from the Tailor’s Shop. Small and large
name tapes are automatically ordered for you by the Tailor’s Shop. Small labels are to be
sewn inside all day wear and large labels inside all sports kit. Name tapes are ordered
once full registration is confirmed. The charge for these will be added to the initial Tailor’s
Please help teach all children to respect their own belongings and those of others by
naming them and encouraging them to look for them if they are lost. An electronic notice
can be put up to help find things and a visit to matron is essential, who will help you to
find anything that is missing. However, it is very hard if items are not named!
1. Marking and looping
It is essential that clear and permanent marking is made on all clothes, footwear,
equipment and sports bags. Clothing must be marked with name tapes supplied by The
Tailor’s Shop, with FPS after the pupil’s name.
Sports kit
All sports kit must have their name tapes sewn neatly on the inside of the garment.
Games socks should be named at the top outside cuff of the sock.
Footwear
Footwear is best marked as seems most appropriate. Black shoes can always have
initials painted on the soles, in front of the heel, where the sole does not touch the
ground, but other items of footwear need to have a name tape very firmly fixed to the
inside of the tongue.
Please sew secure, strong loops onto all items to be hung that would not go in the
string bag such as towels (loops to go on a long edge), coats and blazers.
2. Personal possessions
Watches, pens and other personal items must be marked, preferably by engraving. If a
child is asthmatic, please give a spare named inhaler to the Matrons at the beginning of
each term.
3. Rugby boots
These must have safety studs which are easily identified because they have the kite
mark on them. The School can supply studs if you have difficulty in obtaining them.
