Equipment

It is important that you come to school properly equipped for work in the classroom. All students should have a good bag to protect their exercise and textbooks from damage whilst they are being carried around and in wet weather. Other essential items are:

  • pens; black, blue and red
  • HB pencils
  • protractor
  • ruler
  • rubber
  • pencil sharpener
  • glue stick
  • pocket dictionary and thesaurus
  • calculator
  • coloured pencils

A USB stick is also useful. Correction fluid and felt-tip pens are not allowed in school.

All students will require a calculator for use in mathematics and other lessons. A basic calculator is adequate for the first three years but we recommend a scientific calculator from Year 10. Any other specific equipment requirements will be made by individual departments.
