Lost Property
Scoresby Primary School
Help Us Help You – Label Everything!
We kindly ask all families to take a few minutes to check that ALL of your child’s belongings are clearly labelled with their name. From hats and clothing to drink bottles, lunch containers and school bags, having items named makes it much easier for us to return lost property to its rightful owner.
A few important reminders:
- Hats: Please ensure your child’s hat is clearly and securely labelled, as hats are taken on and off multiple times throughout the day.
- Second-hand Uniform Items: If you have purchased or received second-hand uniform items, please remove any previous names or labels and replace them with your child’s name.
- Faded Labels: Check existing labels and refresh any that have faded or become difficult to read.
- Lunch Containers & Drink Bottles: Each term, we collect a large number of unnamed lunch containers and drink bottles. Please use a permanent marker to write your child’s name on BOTH the container and the lid. Stick-on labels can easily come off!
Extra Clothing: With the cooler weather, please remember to label all additional clothing items, including jackets, parkas, beanies and scarves.
Our aim is to reunite as many lost belongings as possible with their owners. We receive numerous lost items each week, and a simple name label can make all the difference!
Thank you for helping us keep lost property to a minimum and ensuring belongings find their way home.
Lost Property Collection Point – 2026
Our Lost Property collection point for 2026 is located outside the old Music Room (now the Student Support Room), Room 8, in the main building.
Parents and carers are welcome to check this area if their child has misplaced an item.
Thank you for your ongoing support and cooperation!
