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
CASIO fx-83GT Plus Scientific Calculator

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.

Students should also purchase/keep in their pencil case a Casio Scientific Calculator which is also available to buy from the school office.
