School uniform, they've embroidered her name onto the outside of the jumper

[Schooljumper]

DD starts reception next week. I ordered her school uniform from the website linked through the schools own bedside and picked up the jumpers today from the embroidery shop that fulfilled the order. When filling out the order form it asks for the child's name for labelling purposes.

I picked them up this evening before closing and they've embroidered her full name on the outside of the jumpers in yellow text. The school jumper is green. If she has her hair worn up it will be visible to every Tom Dick and Harry inside and outside of school and it really stands out (?!) Surely that's a safeguarding risk. Everybody knows not to have your child's name on display.

That aside, both jumpers have also got a white line going across the chest area that doesn't come off so there's that fault too.

WWYD? I can't speak to the school or the embroidery shop until Monday at which point she's going to be at school.

Your reception child will never be unsupervised in public though so I don't think you need to worry

I’ve never heard of this in my life. Seems ridiculous. But then so does any sort of expensive embroidered item of school clothing for a young school pupil anyway. I really wish schools would catch a grip and stop all these ridiculous uniforms. I don’t see what’s wrong with supermarket clothing and maybe OPTIONAL items with a logo

Why are you even bothering at all with the logo jumpers?
The school colour is green so buy green from a supermarket or marks and spender or wherever.
They don’t need to wear the clothes with the logo, not at primary school. Unless this is a private school.

It is optional. Schools can’t force you to purchase the logo outfits. Just refuse.

Aside from legitimate safeguarding concerns, seems terribly wasteful. My DCs primary school was awash with cast offs and hand-me-downs which wouldn't have worked if they'd had names on the front.
