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.

4. Trainers
They must be practical, well cushioned shoes as they are worn for quite a lot of P.E. lessons, games and cross-country, as well as during breaks and free time.

5. Gum shields
You should arrange to have a gum shield fitted with your own dentist or direct with Opro who will supply a home fitting kit (www.opro.co.uk or 01707 261261). We do not recommend that you buy ‘self-fitting’ gum shields from sports shops, but do recommend the Opro ‘shield’ self-fitting gum shield available from the Tailor’s Shop. Pupils will not be allowed to participate in games/matches if they do not have a gum shield.

6. Swimming hats
Swimming hats are compulsory for all pupils in Year 3 - 8.

7. Sports equipment
Advice and help in purchasing suitable items such as hockey sticks, cricket bats and tennis rackets can be sought from any of the Heads of Sports or P.E. staff.

8. School bags
All students should have crested black bags, clearly marked with their name. This is for school books, stationary etc.
Year 3-4 - School crested black book bag.
Year 5-8 - School crested black rucksack.
