Lost School Jumpers
Lost property is growing by the day with jackets and non school items.
Unfortunately, there are a large number of clothing items that do not have any names on them!
Please clearly mark ALL your children's clothing and property with both first and last name and CURRENT class – this will greatly assist in the item finding its way back to the correct classroom.
