NEW PRODUCT FOR 2025/26

Introducing the new PE Polo top for Bow Brickhill Primary School.

The new polo shirt is manufactured by the same company as our sweatshirts and cardigans so sizing should be comparable, the school logo will be embroidered in the same gold thread.

The school has advised that there will be a transition period of the 2025-26 academic year, during which time pupils will be permitted to wear either their existing white PE t-shirt with school logo or the new purple PE polo with school logo.

WASHING

40 degrees or less

Wash inside out

Do not bleach

We recommend washing your garment on a gentle action 40 degree cycle (synthetics) with non-biological or colour care detergent. For lower environmental impact, Woodbank® polos can also be washed at 30 degrees. To minimise pilling, wash inside out and with garments of similar fabric and weight.

DRYING

Line dry or dry on airer

Cool tumble dry only

Tumble dry inside out

Do not tumble with abrasive or heavy fabrics

If tumble dried, use a cool tumble dry setting and ensure the garment is turned inside out. When tumble drying, do not mix with heavier weight or abrasive garments, as this will increase the risk of pilling. To avoid creasing, remove garments from the machine as soon as possible.

IRONING

Cool iron only If you iron your garment, use a cool iron setting. Ironing on a high setting will scorch fibres.

PILLING

Wash and tumble dry inside out

Avoid excessive abrasion of your garment

If the fibres in your garment become entangled, they may form visible pills on the surface of the fabric. You can minimise the effects of pilling by avoiding friction and abrasion, rubbing (from bag straps or spot-cleaning) and snagging (from Velcro® or sharp edges). Remove pills with a de-fuzzing razor, a depilling comb or gently by hand.
