Lost Property
Whilst school is in no way liable for any personal items lost or damaged during the day, we do keep a lost property store. It helps if parents label sweatshirts, coats, equipment etc. with their child’s name. Though a sharpie pen label is acceptable, some parents consider these options to label their child’s possessions:
