The bag should be of a sober colour and should not demonstrate an extreme of style. When purchasing a bag, consideration should be given to appropriate load bearing for the age and size of the pupil, given that pupils will sometimes have to carry equipment for a maximum of three subjects at any one time. Bags should also be clearly labelled. Many bags contain name plate holders but these are somewhat vulnerable to wear and tear; instead, we recommend that the large nametape that is used for household items (for example, for duvets and towels) should be used. One of the large nametapes can be either sewn onto the bag itself in a prominent and visible position or sewn around a handle. 5

Sew-On Name Tapes All clothing, including home clothes must be labelled. We strongly advise that sew-on name tapes are ordered, as soon as possible. During the busy months, it can take up to 6 weeks for delivery. We recommend using Woven Labels UK (T: +44 (0)870 7486774 E: www.wovenlabelsuk.com). All of your child s clothing and equipment must be identified with your name and House letter (please note that Gownboys is G and Girdlestoneites is X ). For girls, this is the academic House, not the Hall of Residence. Please sew these inside each piece of clothing. Please note that Matrons will not accept IRON ON tapes.
