Labelling Your School Uniform

School uniform all looks the same unless you put your child's name on the inside.  It is really important that you label your child's clothing, our Lost Property Box is testament to that fact! Laundry pens, or permanent markers are great for quickly putting your child's name on the laundry tag on the inside of their clothes. You can also purchase name tags from BE School Wear, which come with your child's name printed on them. This may seem fiddly, but trust us, you will thank us in the long run!
