Equipment
All students should arrive at school ready to learn. With this in mind, your child should have the following equipment with them every day:
- Bag – compulsory even on non-PE days.
- Planner
- Black pen
- Red pen
- Pencil
- Ruler
- Eraser
- Sharpener
- Highlighter
- Protractor

We advise that stationery equipment is kept in a pencil case. If your child would like to bring any other equipment e.g. colouring pencils, pens, highlighters etc, they are free to do so. Your child should also carry a reading book with them at all times.
If students do not have a pencil case with stated equipment, they will be expected to purchase a pre-packed pencil case from the school office (currently priced at £1.50) with the following contents: Pencil case, black pen x 2, red pen, pencil, ruler, eraser, highlighter and protractor.
Payment for all items of stationery should be made by ParentPay.
