Equipment Checks - Every Tuesday Morning At Start Of The Day

PencilDear Parents and Carers,

We are writing to provide clarity regarding the school’s equipment expectations. By coming to every lesson correctly equipped, students give themselves the best chance of maximising learning time and continuing to thrive. We will support students in meeting our uniform and equipment expectations in the following two ways.

Firstly, equipment is sold every morning before the start of every school day and during lunch in the main hall. Secondly, we will be conducting equipment checks every Tuesday morning at the start of PD and also carrying out regular unannounced checks during an afternoon lesson.


Equipment

Students must bring the following to school each day (ideally in a pencil case to keep them all together):

  • Black pen
  • Red pen
  • Pencil
  • Ruler
  • Glue stick (with usable glue inside)

During the checks if students do not have any of these items of equipment, they will be issued a detention the same day.

Equipment can be bought from any stationers, however, to make it as easy as possible for students to replace equipment we are selling equipment before school and at lunch time at the prices below.

Cost

Black pen

5p

Red pen

Pencil

10p

Ruler

Glue stick

Full pencil case with all of the above

Please continue to support your child in maximising their learning and avoiding a sanction by ensuring that they are equipped with the above tomorrow morning (and every day thereafter) or that they purchase equipment before school tomorrow from the library.

Many thanks,

Chris Edwards

Assistant Principal for Personal Development
