- Parents are encouraged to check with school prior to making a purchase if they are in any doubt as to whether certain items are suitable for school.

School Equipment
School Bags
Children are not required to carry large numbers of books home each day. We do recommend that you buy a school bag which is just large enough to hold a reading book, an information book, 2 A4 exercise books, a ring binder (optional) and a packed lunch. Bags which are very large encourage children to overload themselves and congest the cloakrooms. A small separate PE bag is recommended for hygiene and convenience; this should have enough space to hold a rugby shirt or sweatshirt, polo shirt, shorts, socks and a pair of trainers.
Wallets and Purses
If children bring dinner money or a bus pass they will need a clearly named wallet or purse to keep them in.
Lockers
All children are issued with a locker to store all personal equipment. A deposit of £3.00 will be required to cover the key. Replacement keys will be charged at £3.00.
Lost Property
Parents are advised not to allow valuable items such as personal jewellery, mobile telephones and other portable devices. If these items are found in school they will be confiscated. If students choose to wear a watch to school then it is their sole responsibility to look after this. Whilst every effort is made, the school cannot accept responsibility for items that are not recovered.
PLEASE ENSURE THAT ALL PROPERTY IS CLEARLY AND PERMANENTLY NAMED.
