Required Equipment & Stationery
Every student should have the following equipment, which tutors will check regularly:
- Pencil
- Black Pens
- Glue stick
- Ruler
- Eraser
- Colouring pencils
- Pencil sharpener
- Maths equipment – calculator, protractor and compass
- Reusable water bottle
They may also choose to bring coloured pens, highlighters and a small notebook for making notes, noting homework and other important information.
Students will need to ensure they have a reusable water bottle with them each day.
In an effort to reduce litter on the school site and because of our commitment to being more sustainable, students are discouraged from buying bottled water or reusing disposable plastic bottles. We request they purchase reusable bottles that can be refilled at school at one of our water refill stations.
We sell black stainless steel, thermal sports bottles for £3.50 each. They feature double-walled insulation, a secure screw-on lid with a handle, a keyring carabiner and a convenient flip reusable straw.
Resources - Onsite Stationery Shop
Our Resources Department offer a range of products at very competitive prices and is open to students at break and lunchtime, as well as before and after school. Some stationery and sports equipment may also be purchased via ParentMail.

Art materials are provided in school for lessons. However, if you would like to bring your own equipment, we suggest the following:
- Good quality colouring pencils

*Prices may be subject to change
Text Books and Exercise Books
Text books and exercise books are supplied by the school. We really encourage all students to take pride in their work and keep their books neat and tidy. They can be covered if you wish. Books that are lost or damaged must be replaced.
Students are encouraged to get into a routine of checking their timetable every evening to ensure their bag is packed with everything required for the following school day.
