Lost Property and Property

Lost Property

We ask that all parents name all uniform and clothing, with over 600 children across the federation wearing the same uniform, it is very difficult to return or retrieve lost property that is unnamed.

We appreciate that replacing lost uniform and equipment is expensive and hopefully these guidelines will assist your son or daughter in retrieving any items they may misplace. Staff members are unable to search for student’s lost property and the onus is on students to take responsibility for their own property. When students lose property they should visit and look in the classroom or area where they believe the property was left. If they do not find their property they should then go to School Office

All lost property with a name tag that is handed into the Office will be returned to its rightful owner. Lost property that is handed into Office and is not labelled will be held for 10 weeks. At the end of this period all lost property will be disposed of.

Labeling uniform is very easy to do, name tapes are best, even iron-on tapes, however, if you do not have these, just write on the label or inside trainers or shoes with a good quality laundry marker pen or permanent marker pen. Please use full name or initial and surname, rather than just a first name e.g. J Jones is much better than John. Washing does erase marker pens, so please check that your son or daughter’s name has not faded on their belongings.

Property

The school can not take responsibility for personal property such as mobile phones, bikes or scooters. The school will do its best to provide secure storage for these items, however it is a parent decision whether or not their child brings such items to school.
