 1 x drawing pencil, 1 x rubber, 1 x pencil sharpener, 1 x sketchbook

The school provides and 'Art Pack' available to purchase through our online Arbor system which can be purchased for £13.50.  This pack contains:

1 x A3 plastic folder, 1 x ring bound A4 Sketchbook, 1 x set 6 drawing pencils, 1 x rubber,
1 x pencil sharpener, 1 x ruler, 1 x set of 12 watercolour pencils, 1 x small box of watercolour paints, 1 x small selection of watercolour paintbrushes, 1 x zip wallet.

Food Technology Equipment

All students participating in Food Technology lessons at KS3 and KS4 will require ingredients every 2 weeks (sometimes more than that), and will need to ensure they bring this in when needed (they will be informed via Arbor). Ingredients MUST be weighed and measured at home prior to the lesson.

They will also need to remember to bring a tub when cooking, so they can take their cooked items home safely.

General Equipment

Pencil case with pens, pencils, maths set, coloured pencils, ruler, rubber, and refillable water bottle, ruck sack to carry books, equipment and clothing.

Maths Equipment

The Maths and Science Departments use Solar Scientific Calculators in lessons and we recommend that children have the same make and model (Casio fx-85GT Plus).  The position of the buttons and the functions available match those used in demonstrations in class and this reduces any confusion.
