MARKING
The marking of all clothes is essential and it is the responsibility of parents to ensure that every item of clothing belonging to their son/daughter is clearly marked.  Unmarked clothing which goes astray is unlikely to find its way back to its owner.  Nametapes showing the owner’s name, initials and House letter should be used.  Some additional name tapes should be given to the House Matron so that any items purchased during term time can immediately be marked.

MENDING & CLEANING
Parents are requested to ensure that all clothes and shoes are clean, in good repair and still fit at the start of each term.

The Outfitters/Sports shop is the official School outfitters and the sole supplier of the uniform and sports wear. 

Parents of new pupils must make an appointment for outfitting.
This usually takes approx. 1 hour. Please contact the Outfitters by telephone on 01483 291635 or email shops@charterhouse.org.uk
