Anyone with a girl currently at Oundle?

[TheWomanTheyCallJayne]

Or anyone with one starting this year.

May I pick your brains please about uniform etc please?

I’ve been testing the stamp. I’ll let you know how it goes.

I haven’t been able to get the reading list to open. Is there any chance anyone could copy and paste, please? I suspect it’s not dissimilar to other years and so we’ll have and so he’ll have read most but we wouldn’t mind seeing it.

Scrub that. Used dh’s laptop.

I’m now trying to work out things like shorts where it says useful stuff like navy sports shorts and then there’s either navy crested or navy rugby in the shop.
Needs two pairs so gone for one of each. I wish they weren’t so vague either.
it’s also irritating that they’ve changed everything just enough to make the stuff I’ve saved outdated. Why did the rugby socks need changing ffs‽

People still using the old socks.

there’s two shorts listed. One style are longer. Made of slinky /footballer material. You don’t want to play rugby in then as they can be pulled down more easily in tackles. The shorter style ones are more widely used. Best for rugby. Less good for extremely tall boys well over 6 foot #hotpants

can’t help with a reading list. Never bothered …

lots of the old kit is still about. Need one set of new stuff for matches. New sports tops are much better than the heavy old ones.

Ladies with children starting in Oundle, sorry for jumping in, but I wonder if someone can advise me on what toiletries they need to pack up. I can’t find lists anywhere. Thanks in advance. Do pm me if easier.

Everything they want to take . Nothing is provided. I imagine the list for girls is longer than the boys’ requirements! Girls don’t wear a lot of make up I’ve noticed. Some but not a lot.

leftandaright Thank you so much! I have a boy , so won’t worry about make up 😄just could not find any lists apart from school uniform and school is closed

Boys: shampoo, shaving kit if needed, shower gel, toothbrush and toothpaste.

awful clothes to wear at the weekend - nothing smart really! Usual teenage stuff.
