New Parents
To avoid possible difficulties caused by delay, parents should contact the shop during the term prior to
the pupil’s entry in order to make an appointment.
Naming Clothes
At the start of your child’s stay at Reed’s, all clothing bought from the school shop will be steam named.
This service is compulsory. There is a charge of £20 for day boys and £25 for boarders; this covers the
naming of towels and duvet covers. Once the initial payment has been made all replacements bought
from the school shop will be named free. All clothing, shoes and possessions including casual clothing
and underwear MUST be named. The School is happy to steam name all these items at a cost of 50p per
label. Clothes found to be unnamed will be named and the charge placed on the end of term bill.
Replacements
Parents must see that their children return to school with the right size items correctly marked and in
good repair. If replacements are necessary the School reserves the right to provide what is needed and
to invoice accordingly.
Boarders’ Bedding
The School will provide sheets, pillows and pillow cases. Duvets and duvet covers must be provided by
parents.
Casual Clothing
Boarders may bring back to school a limited amount of non-uniform clothing, which must be named,
to be worn during certain periods of free time. The suggested maximum is 2 pairs jeans/trousers, 3 Tshirts and 1 shirt and sweater.
General regulations on hairstyles and jewellery are published in the Parents’ Handbook.

UNIFORM / APPEARANCE FOR SIXTH FORM BOYS
• 6th Form boys must wear a matching suit of a nature suitable for office wear. The suit must not be of
denim or corduroy material, must not be skin-tight and trousers may not look like jeans. Shirts should
be of a plain colour or striped and work with a school tie. The overall look should be suitable for
attending a formal interview.
• V-neck pullovers, waistcoats or cardigans may be worn as optional extras. Please note that sweat
shirts, zipped cardigans, round-neck pullovers or any garments with logos or wording should not be
worn.
• Games clothing, unless a pupil is playing for the major sports team, should be equipped with the
standard Minor Sport kit which comprises:
- White short-sleeved polo shirt with Reed’s crest
- Blue shorts with Reed’s crest
- School Tracksuit
• Black or brown leather shoes are to be worn: boots, boat shoes, plimsolls, trainers, and any other
footwear are not acceptable. Socks must be worn and should be barely visible and a sober colour.
• Scarves should be Reed’s School scarves, or of an unobtrusive colour and pattern; football scarves or
those with logos and lettering are not acceptable.
• Students are expected to be clean shaven at all times, and with sideburns that do not extend below
the level of the ear lobe, nor across the cheek.
• No ear studs or other piercings are acceptable
• Hair regulations for 6th Form boys are exactly the same as for the rest of the School.
• Coats should be smart; navy or black.
The Head of Sixth Form reserves the right to decide on the acceptability of any respect of
clothing or personal appearance.
UNIFORM / APPEARANCE FOR SIXTH FORM GIRLS
In common with the requirements for boys there is a Dress Code for girls, rather than a prescribed
uniform. The principle is ‘dress of a standard suitable attending a formal interview and not designed to
draw undue attention to the wearer’.
• Girls should wear a skirt of a reasonable length (close to the knee) or trousers which should be of a
classic, full length style. Neither should be tight, or of a stretchy fabric.
• They should wear the suit jacket over a blouse (with collar) which should be tucked in. Blouses
should be buttoned up appropriately and made of a fabric which is not see-through. V-neck jumpers or
cardigans may be worn beneath the jacket. Girls do not need to wear ties, but may do so if they wish: if
worn they should always be fully done up and collars buttoned.
• Shoes should have heels of only modest height.
• Tights should be blue, black, brown or flesh coloured.
• Hair should be a length and style that does not draw undue attention to itself; this includes dyeing
• Girls may wear a single pair of discreet earrings or studs; no other ornamental piercing is accepted.
Other jewellery should be restricted to a minimum. Nail polish should be discreet. Make up should be
appropriate to a daytime office situation.
Any queries about the above should be referred to the Head of Sixth Form Girls.
