Lost Property
An increasing amount of very good quality school clothing and miscellaneous items are being left around the school. Unfortunately, the majority of items bare no label for identity of ownership. Due to the mounting volumes we can only carry such items for a short period of time. To help reduce this problem, please would parents have students’ school clothing and relevant items clearly named. Unclaimed school clothing will be donated to the HT Shop for second-hand sales and unclaimed casual clothing to local charities.
