Year 6 Leavers Hoodies 2026/2027
It is a Derwentwater tradition for our Year 6 children to have a special Leavers’ Hoodie. It is a lovely keepsake to celebrate their primary school memories and time together, and we always make sure every single child has at least one!Key Information:Colour & Design: Blue hoodie with the school logo on the front. The back features a large 27 made from all the Year 6 children's names.Names: Please write your child’s preferred first name on the order form. No silly names are allowed, as teachers have agreed the hoodies can be worn to school as uniform instead of normal jumpers or cardigans.Example of allowed nicknames: “Elizabeth” can be shortened to “Ellie” or “Mohammad” to “Mo.” Not allowed: gaming usernames or jokes like adding ‘67’ to a name will not be permitted.Price: £24 for one hoodie.Financial Help: If you can pay £24 in full, it is hugely appreciated. However, we understand this is not possible for everyone. We are running fundraisers to cover remaining costs because we want every child to have a hoodie, regardless of money. If you require financial support please either check the box on the order form online, or have a quiet conversation with Mr Williams. This is always handled with strict sensitivity and in confidence.Extra Hoodies: You may order more than 1 hoodie, but additional ones must be paid for in full (£24 each). As 10–11 year olds' clothes quickly get dirty and smelly, having a spare is recommended for washing!Sizes and Fitting:Sample Sizes Available: Volunteers will size the children during school and send home a recommendation. However if you’d like to size for yourself, the samples will be available in the office to try from Tuesday 22nd Sept until 9th October. We only have the Kids L, XL and Adults S, M to try on, but other sizes can be ordered if required.Please note: the samples are pullover, but the actual hoodies will be zippered.The sizes are the same.The Kids sizes do not have pull strings due to safety regulations.Size Chart: see below, measurements are in inches and the circumference of the chest under the armpits. The chart on the left is Kids sizes, and Adults are on the right.Tip: Children grow a lot in Year 6! We recommend sizing up so they get longer use out of this special keepsake.Important Dates & Links:Order Deadline: Friday 9th OctoberOrdering:● Online orders: please do so here.● Cash payments: Can be made by putting your money in an envelope marked with yourchild’s name, their size to order and your telephone number.● Need help?
