SUPPLIES AND GENERAL NOTES

The official stockists are Messrs. Matterson of Goodramgate, York. The following arrangements have been made with them:

  1. When parents do not wish or are unable to go to York, Messrs. Matterson will at any time send garments to School. Parents wishing to avail themselves of this service should send details of size, measurement, etc., to School.
  2. A stock of School Caps, Cap Badges, Blazer Badges, Scarves, Ties and Girls' Socks is held at School and purchases may be made at any time.
  3. Messrs. Matterson, conscious of the fact that the initial purchase of full School Uniform is a matter of some expense, will upon request allow payment to be made in three equal instalments, one in each Term of the first year.
  4. Messrs. Matterson and the Headmaster are most anxious that any complaints or suggestions should be aired immediately. They will then do their best to meet them.
