NOTES FROM <strong>THE</strong> HEAD<br />
I have been advised by the Residents’ Association of St<br />
Anthony’s Court (the flat block next door to No. 68) that<br />
parents have been using their car park while dropping off<br />
and picking up from school. I do ask that none of you use<br />
this private space as a car park. The residents are within<br />
their rights to have any illegally parked cars removed.<br />
Mrs Carole Jenkinson – Head of Upper School<br />
LOOFY SHOP NOTICE<br />
We know that many of you are waiting for our delivery of<br />
fleeces for both Northcote Lodge and <strong>Broomwood</strong> <strong>Hall</strong>. To<br />
update you about the fleeces and other items on order:<br />
Fleeces: <strong>Broomwood</strong> fleeces will be here in December.<br />
Our supplier tells us that the Northcote fleeces are in an<br />
airport in China waiting for a flight, but have not told us<br />
when this might be.<br />
Knickerbockers: These are due at the end of November.<br />
Peter Pan collar white shirts: These are due in January.<br />
Navy Cardigans: These will be in at the end of November.<br />
Red Tracksuits: Sizes 30, 32 and 34 due mid November.<br />
The schoolwear industry is being badly hit by the economic<br />
climate and as a result they are not keeping stock of<br />
anything and only make to order. We try our best to have<br />
all sizes in stock but do sometimes run out as we cannot<br />
predict the sizes your children will need.<br />
While writing, I would like to forewarn you that unfortunately<br />
we are going to have to raise our prices on some<br />
items of uniform in January. This is due to the increase in<br />
the price of cotton and some man-made fibres, some of<br />
our suppliers have increased their prices by up to 20%. My<br />
advice would be to come in and buy anything you know<br />
you will need before the end of this term.<br />
