PARKING
Sew Sublime would like to draw your attention to the following:
Please do not use the Bridge Wharf car park which is in front of Wizz Kidz play area. This is not owned by Sew Sublime and there is a clamping firm in operation, and they are clamping anyone who does not register their details and use the facilities at Wizz Kidz. The release fee is up to £115.  We have placed signs inside our shop, but are not allowed to do so in the car park itself.

Please use the main town centre car parks, and then walk to the store or take advantage of the free 30 minute waiting parking spaces outside the store when these are available.

Naming of Clothing
We encourage parents to name all items of clothing with sewn-in name tags or indelible pen.

Please note:
Banbury School fully endorses the principle that the school’s uniform should be affordable for everyone, ensuring that no student or family is socially excluded through inability to buy.  Accordingly, the majority of the uniform can be bought ‘off the peg’ from any high street outlet or supermarket; the only items which need to be purchased from local specialist suppliers, Cross Embroidery or Sew Sublime, being the blazer and tie.  The blazer is competitively priced, retailing at around a similar cost to those available from high street outlets and supermarkets (but without the required school badge).

Banbury School is committed to an annual appraisal of the uniform’s cost in order to ensure that it continues to be affordable for everyone.

We retain the right to send students home, if not in full school uniform, to return immediately in full uniform.

The Principal, on behalf of the Governing Body, will make the final decision regarding what is permissible in school.
