I think JR will agree, that we didn't have to buy anything, House Colours and School Colours were presented. and for PT (PE to you) pretty well anything went, as for "Runs" and work on the School "Farm" (Does that still exist, for Anti- Sport Pupils ?)
As I recall Neill, all the PT kit was purchased from John Lewis in London, along with the regulation trunk.
Certainly, house/school colours were presented.
My most treasured badges were the silver crossed bugles and marksman badge for my CCF uniform, even though I was a bren-gunner.
