Beaconsfield High name tapes - Q for existing parents

Post by Jules7 »

DD v. excited about starting BHS following all the various induction events. We've got the extra large name tapes now and I am braving the sewing on a gradual basis.....
My question for seasoned (!) parents is whether the name tapes on the PE kit items have to be sewn on above or below the badge/school name? I can't seem to lay my hands on any specific instructions.

DD came home with them after induction day last week (we handed the order form in at the uniform fitting on the 2nd Saturday allocated - as our surname is in the 2nd half of the alphabet). Maybe the uniform shop in High Wycombe (Sportscrest) can help?

Hope you get yours soon!

Thought the following reply I got from the school on this would be helpful to new parents.

Students sew these large badges in various different places on their PE
kit - quite often on the other side to the school badge. The PE
department don't mind at all as long as the name is clearly visible, to
ensure as little property as possible goes missing.

Was just reading in the BHS July Newsletter they emailed today that there was a mention on page 11 that ID tapes could be collected on selected opening days of the uniform shop at BHS. There were about 4 different dates listed.

Oh and BTW I ended up sewing the large name tapes wherever I could reference a straight line - so often on the same side as the school name or badge. We have a long name and consequently long ID tapes to sew on.......

As I was in B&Q earlier today wrestling with what screws and raw plugs I needed, bought a padlock for the lockers. Hate to think what state they are going to be like by the end of term!
