New Boy's Clothes List

Most of the articles required for a new boy’s outfit can be obtained from the College Shop, and a limited supply of items are available, parents may use the downloadable order form to order those items required from Shop. Items available to order may be viewed here.

Please note that Shop closes on the last day of the Summer Term for an annual stock-take and is closed over the summer holidays.

As all clothes are laundered in the school laundry it is essential everything is well marked. The Shop now automatically orders, for all new boys, an adequate supply of woven name tapes, with name and initials in block capitals, and including the Social letter. All clothing purchased via the Shop will have name tapes sewn on at no extra charge and will be waiting in a boy's Social when he arrives on the first day of term.
Parents who purchase clothes elsewhere should ensure that they are suitable for machine washing (40˚C) and tumble drying. Hand washable items cannot be laundered at school. There is a dry cleaning service for suits, gowns, jackets etc. for which there is an extra charge. There is no extra charge for laundry, the cost of which is included in the basic fees.
An invoice will be sent out once items have been ordered, or following a fitting out appointment in Shop, and payment can be made by cheque or if preferred by credit card. Once a boy is at Radley, any goods purchased from Shop will be charged on each term's account unless instructions to the contrary are received.

Any questions regarding the style and quantity of home clothes, and what bedding is required should be addressed to the House Tutor or Pastoral House Mistress (PHM), as these items are not sold in Shop.

Linen: All under sheets and pillowcases are provided by Radley College. Boys should bring their own duvets together with two covers of their own choice.

Trunks: soft luggage should be used to bring a boy's belongings back to school, and not a Trunk. In addition, all boys need a holdall for use at Leave-Away, Privilege Weekends and away matches.

Jam Account (J/A): This is an amount of credit for the term (£60 is a recommended amount),  and £60 will be the default amount allocated to your son, unless you advise otherwise. This allows your son to purchase confectionery and drinks in the Shop up to the agreed credit limit. The actual expenditure will then be included on the account at the end of each term. The limit given at the start of the first term will automatically be entered onto Jam account for each subsequent term. This limit can be topped up if required by an e-mail to shop@radley.org.uk.
Stationery, toiletries and other smaller items can be purchased on credit, but clothing and more expensive items may only be purchased on credit if authorised by a chit signed by a boy's Tutor or by email from parents giving permission. All boys must have a hairbrush and comb, toothbrush, nailbrush, shoe brushes and polish, nail scissors, flannel, sponge bag and mug.
It is important that everything (including boots, shoes, brushes, etc.) is marked with the boy's initials and name, followed by his Social letter. Woven tapes must be used on all laundered items. Marking ink for these articles cannot be accepted.
