PLEASE NOTE that the School grey is a mid-grey (charcoal/light grey is not acceptable).

Most boys arrive by car or coach and the need for an outer garment, proof against the elements does at times seem unclear. The lightweight School Kagool is seen as a way of providing a low cost overcoat which can be used for activities out of school. For warmer wear, the uniform requirements are green waxed cotton jackets or other plain dark green coats.

EQUIPMENT

• Shoe Bag
• Pencil Case (with basic equipment of pencil, ruler, sharpener, rubber)
• Cartridge ink pen with medium italic nib (Years 3-6)
• Satchel/suitable case (Years 2-6) - see note below
• Descant Recorder (Years 3-6)
• Box for packed lunch (if required)

The use of large squashy bags for carrying school books is NOT permitted. Because such bags do not hold books tightly, excessive wear occurs, to the extent that a text book may not last one term and an exercise book wears out before completed. The complications that such bags cause to movement in corridors, on staircases and around classrooms also mitigate against their use.
