We all make mistakes. My classes love to correct my 'mistakes' when actually what I am doing is testing their knowledge .90% of teaching is acting!:rotfl:

We had a problem like this when my sister had an item of jewellery confiscated at secondary school and it was never returned to her. They made all sorts of excuses until the head got involved and paid for a replacement.

I had the same thing myself when I was at Secondary. Pair of gold earrings and a ring of my friend's were confiscated and we never got either back, we were both just fobbed off with excuses that they were in different places. E.g Science teacher who took them said they were with the team that dealt with behaviour at school, behaviour team said they'd gone to lost property.

Seems fair enough to me, OP. Annoying, but not the school's fault. My primary and secondary schools both had the same idea.

There are piles and piles of unwanted tat left behind I really don't expect the school to store it all over the summer. I expect my children to return to a clean and tidy school in the autumn.

As most children start the new term with new uniform and kit I'm sure the school assumed this was unwanted belongings.

Perhaps parents should teach children not to discard unwanted clothing at school if they want them to return to a tidy one the following term.

As to new uniform and kit each term - I had the same hockey boots for the 5 years I was at secondary school. I have to admit they pinched a bit the last year!

When I was at school the uniforms had to be purchased from a particular shop. I had only two blouses for the first 2 years and 2 more for the last 3 years, with one being worn, and one in the wash - and one eight-gored skirt and one cardigan washed at weekends. One top and a pair of pleated shorts for outdoor games. Oh, and a blazer and beret (had two each of those in 5 years). Grey knee length socks completed this wonderful look and girls were sent home for wearing the wrong coloured socks in those days.

We also had dresses in the summer - my first was brand new and a second was later puchased at a sale of outgrown clothes at the school.

Two year old thread resurrection alert....

It's a two year old thread... but yep I've thrown away abandoned sports kit found the first day of September... it was swimming kit, had been sat there all summer wet and festering and no way on this planet was I opening that bag to look for name tags. That one went straight in the bin.

Apart from the mouldy bucket of vomit someone found kicked under a chair in sickbay, and the arm off the school skeleton I found in my class cupboard one dark evening when half of the school had gone home already - probably the most disgusting find I've encountered in a school.
