Blundell's Clothing and Games Kit (Senior Girls)
The purpose of this list is to achieve a neat appearance for members of the School. It is intended to provide Blundellians with sufficient clothing for their needs, without incurring excessive expenditure.
The School Shop can supply all clothing listed overleaf. The School Tailor is Mr. D.G. Webber, who will undertake tailoring and repairs. He may be contacted on 01884 232316 and the Shop is normally open all day Tuesdays to Fridays plus Saturdays 10a.m. – 12.30p.m. in term time. During School Holidays he is available by appointment only.
Appointments will be available from Tuesday July 26th until the beginning of term; Mr Webber is away from Blundell’s between Saturday July 9th and Monday July 25th 2011 inclusive.
All reasonable care will be taken of pupils’ clothing, but the School cannot accept responsibility for loss of items under the pupils’ control. The School has an on-site laundry, which will deal with items of School clothing other than those requiring special treatment or dry cleaning. Pupils’ casual clothes are not handled by the School Laundry. Full boarders and regular flexi-boarders may have their casual clothes washed by Matron.
Please ensure that all clothing is returned to School in good repair, and that necessary dry cleaning has been done during the holidays.
All items of clothing must be clearly marked with name tapes, which may be purchased through the School Shop. The initials of the girl’s House should follow her name. Shoes should be marked clearly, as should all other items of personal property. Towels should have a tape loop attached to the centre of one long side.
It is normal for pupils bring their own duvet and two covers clearly marked.
Casual clothes are worn on School premises at weekends and in Houses at other times. They must be clean and in good order; and the School reserves the right to ban unsuitable items. They must be marked.
Whilst the School will maintain clothing of boarding pupils during term time it remains the responsibility of parents to make regular checks on the condition and suitability of their daughter’s clothing.
Make-up and Jewellery
Years 9, 10 and 11 – no jewellery. Sixth Forms - jewellery should be discreet. Unobtrusive discreet make-up may be worn but no lipstick or coloured nail varnish. All jewellery must be removed before Games with the exception of studs.
Hair
Unconventional hair styles are to be discouraged. Hair should be off the face whilst in uniform or best wear. Girls may be asked to use slides or hair-bands. All long hair must be tied back for Games.
Boarders and regular flexi-boarders may bring their own bedside lamp, hair dryer, radios, cassette players, a rug or mat, posters and personal effects. Facilities are available for making toast and hot drinks. Tea, bread, butter and biscuits are delivered to the House daily. Any other supplies you wish to bring should be kept in a lockable tuckbox together with personal valuables.
