LOST PROPERTY

Every week a large quantity of ‘lost’ property is handed into the School Office. To ensure that your child is able to identify any items they have misplaced please ensure that you label clothing/belongings with their name where possible/practical.

Lost property is recorded and dated on receipt. Items are kept for one calendar month following which they are disposed of or donated to charity as appropriate.

Pupils who have misplaced an item of clothing or a possession should visit the School Office who will reunite them with their property should it have been handed in. Read more about LOST PROPERTY
