295 bus route towards Clapham Junction. Possibly Hammersmith area. Which school has dark blue blazer/suit type thing with dark blue trousers. DD was harassed and is calling the police when she gets to work but I'd trying to identify school.

Hope she's ok today.

I'm considering suggesting a uniform like this for our local schools (so you can see them coming)

Thank you all much for taking the trouble to post your suggestions. We know most of the local schools, have googled every local school and John Lewis uniform - it is not obviously any of them. DD is going to wait for the police to contact her to make her statement and see if they have the resource to trace the perv via CCTV.

She felt a bit like she was wasting their time as there are lots of much more serious crimes, but this behaviour will escalate. This sort of thing was so common when I was young, it was normalised - glad it is taken more seriously nowadays.

I will post again when there is an update.

Thanks again for your support x

Could it be Phoenix High in Shepherds Bush? Their blazers look very suit like - the logo is a phoenix with crescent shaped wings.

Good idea from Alison. Bus driver will know.

AlisonBlunderland · 11/06/2015 20:12

If this is her regular route, she should be able to ask the driver tomorrow as he will know from experience where the boys wearing this uniform get off. Should narrow the field a lot

There are lots of school logos in this section too: www.johnlewis.com/baby-child/uniform-by-school/c600002381?rdr=1

Thanks for the links - I think DD would have remarked on the hideous piping.! She thought it was more a suit type uniform - trousers and jacket the same fabric - We will have a google when she gets home.

Could be Fulham College boys' school- this is their uniform logo, although uniform is black.

Sorry for bad link- Google won't let me link to images Confused

She could try looking at the John Lewis uniform section. Loads are on there:

I hope she is ok to get back on the bus.

He didn't hit her it was sexual. Apparently the police will contact her to make a statement, so not exactly treating it seriously.

Was the bus busy, Did anyone see them hit her? They normally have cctv don't they?

She thought there was a crescent type badge on his jacket according to DH. She is not back yet. I know most of the local schools and not come across it. Poss not a local school at all. It was one perp who sat next to her and assaulted her as she got up to get off, not a group of teens as I originally assumed.

The police will probably have an idea of the school. But I'm sure someone will be along to say that they are just kids, poor deprived inner city kids bla bla bla. (Ive been on the receiving end of gobshite teens on busses too).

Ibstock Place junior boys wear blue trousers but Idon't know about seniors

SquirmOfEels · 11/06/2015 17:11

Burlington Danes?

But that probably won't sit right with the bus route.

Yes it was this morning. DD (18) on way to work. We have only communicated via text but she thought it was a dark blue jacket and trousers which would seem to rule out Emmanuel and many others with black/grey trousers. She got off the bus at Hammersmith going south but the perps stayed on. I hope the police take her seriously.

I assumed it was this morning too. Emanuel is 5-10 min (Max) walk from Clapham Junction.

SquirmOfEels · 11/06/2015 14:37

For some reason, I'd assumed it was end of school day.

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 11/06/2015 14:31

I assumed it happened this morning on the way to school.

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 11/06/2015 14:30

Squirm
I know people whose DC are at Emanuel and walk from CJ

SquirmOfEels · 11/06/2015 14:28

The 295 bus route goes from Ladbroke Grove; via Shepherd's Bush, Goldhawk Road, Hammersmith, Fulham Broadway, York Road; to CJ. If I read OP right, it was a southbound bus, so if at school finishing time, it wouldn't make sense for it to be Emanuel as they are south of the southernmost stop of the route.

Did she spot anything else about the uniform?
