POSSESSIONS

With reference to the uniform list please note the following specific requirements for pupils in Inglefield House. All items mentioned are available from the school shop.

Each pupil will be allocated three pegs in the cloakroom in addition to a wire basket under a bench below the pegs. Three sports bags, one regulation navy holdall for games kit, one regulation maroon drawstring for gym/dance kit and one regulation red drawstring for swimming kit will be needed. We strongly recommend the purchase of the navy school satchel. This is compulsory for Yr3 and Yr4 pupils, and is stocked by the school shop. This is suitable for the carrying of books and we believe that a satchel and separate sports bags will be a manageable – and tidy – solution to the problem of having a variety of items to remember.

We would like to stress the great importance of having your daughter’s possessions clearly labelled so that any item which goes astray can be quickly returned to its owner. Please also note that your daughter will not be able to lock away her possessions so it is sensible to leave any items of value, including jewellery, at home. It can be very distressing for everyone on the rare occasions such belongings are found to be missing. We would much prefer to avoid this eventuality.

TROUSER UNIFORM

At HMSG, we aim to ensure that suitable provision is offered for a pupil who wants to make a thoughtful and considered choice about the clothes worn at school in relation to their religions, lifestyle or gender identity. A pupil who feels more comfortable in the trouser uniform may choose to wear it.

This choice is made with parental consent and with the Headmistress’s approval. This would usually be discussed on joining the school. If, however, a pupil decides, for reason of religion, lifestyle or gender identity, that they would like to wear the trouser uniform, then the process to go through in order to seek the Headmistress’s approval is as follows:

 Pupil conversation with Houseparent, Head of Year or Tutor;  Pupil conversation with Houseparent or Head of Year and the Deputy Head, to outline the next steps;  Parental conversation with the Deputy Head  Written request from parent to the Headmistress
