Students in every year group need to bring the following every day:

• black pen (at least two)
• red pen
• pencil
• ruler
• Calculator
• Personal Development plastic wallet folder
• Subject-specific equipment for the day (all subject exercise books, PE kit, Food ingredients)

Equipment checks take place in tutor time every morning. Subject teachers will also check students' equipment in lessons. If a student does not have any item above, they will be issued with a sanction.
