Dear Parents

As you probably know, the children at this School wear school uniform. This is not a whim on the part of Staff here, but general practice throughout the North Riding. It is essential that not only should the children have the uniform, but that they should wear it every day School is in session.

Winter uniform for girls is
  • a grey skirt or pinafore dress; red shirt blouse, School tie; plain grey cardigan or V-necked pullover; white, grey or fawn ankle socks or three-quarter socks; and black shoes.
  • In the very cold weather some girls like to wear coloured knee socks or tights, so we do allow plain red ones.
  • As last year 1st Year girls will not make an apron in Needlework lessons to wear for Housecraft. Each girl needs a red and white checked gingham apron (ΒΌ- inch check), and it would be a great help if she could have it at the beginning of term. The most practical style seems to be the kind with a bib front, skirt gathered on to a waistband, and tie straps.
The uniform for boys is
  • dark trousers; black blazer; dark shirt and School tie.
  • The regulation school blazer, tie and blouse are available at H. Hornsey & Co., 40 Market Place, Malton.
  • Winter boots and Wellingtons should not be worn in School so any child coming to School in them in the bad weather should change into shoes to wear indoors.

It is very important that children should have P.E. kit. For a girl this comprises a white blouse, preferably cotton, navy knickers and/or shorts. For boys it comprises shorts, football shirt and socks. Both boys and girls need towels for use after P.E. Information about football boots and hockey boots will be given in September.

Swimming is now included in the curriculum all the year round. For this boys need swimming trunks, and girls need a one-piece swimming costume. Bikinis are not suitable for School use.

It is most important that every article of clothing is clearly marked with the owner's name.

Jewellery and make-up (including nail varnish) should not be worn in School.

In the interest of hygiene and appearance, girls should have short hair styles or have long hair fastened back off the face.

Mr. Hanson has asked me to let you know of the position regarding the dinner hour. He and the Staff are responsible all day for children who stay at School for dinner. If you wish your child to go into the town for any particular reason will you please send a note. Boys should take their notes to Mr. Lindsley and girls to me.

We look forward to meeting our new entrants on 3rd September and hope their time at this School will be happy.

Yours sincerely

A M Lacey (Mrs)

Senior Mistress
