Induction to our Academy

As part of the induction into Foundation, all parents will receive a Lady Jane Grey Book Bag on the parents’ information evening in the Summer Term. You will also be able to order for free a complimentary branded sweatshirt and two polo shirts.

To ensure adequate space in all classrooms and cloakrooms, either bring a Red book bag or a red drawstring bag.

Book Bags can be purchased at many retailers and online. Lady Jane Grey branded book bags are available from our partner, Big Fish. Details of how to order are at the bottom of this page.

Please do not send your child to school with any other bags due to the very limited cloakroom space for coats.
