Essential Equipment
We ask for the support of parents/ carers in ensuring children to come to the academy fully equipped and ready to learn. We have high expectations of our students, and if students fail to bring the correct equipment to school vital learning time is lost. We expect our students to take responsibility for their learning, and we also realise that future employers would expect workers to arrive at the workplace with the correct equipment.
Your child should leave home each morning with the following equipment:
An appropriate school Bag – (preferably a back-pack) Vital to keep all equipment and knowledge organiser in.
PE Kit - Please check with your child when PE is timetabled, so they pack their kit.
Refillable water bottle – Please send your child in to school with a refillable water bottle.
The following equipment is required by every student every day. Equipment checks will take place at tutor time each day.
