Equipment students need at school
It is essential that students come to school each day fully prepared for every lesson with all necessary equipment, including any additional equipment or clothing required for specialised lessons.
They are expected to have with them at all times:
A proper school bag, to contain:
- Pencil case – to include: Pens, pencils, ruler, rubber, sharpener, coloured pencils or felt tip pens
- Student Planner
- Exercise books
- Text books
- A calculator
- P.E. Kit
- Pre-paid lunch card, dinner money, or packed lunch
All students belongings must be clearly labelled with their name (especially their uniform and their outdoor coats).
Each evening, when students have completed their homework, they should check their student planner to make sure they have the right books and equipment for the next day.
Presentation of work
Presentation of work is always important. Careless presentation will create a bad impression on your reader who may be distracted from what you have to say.
Our students are given these instructions:
Many readers will make judgements about your general ability and even your attitude, if the presentation of your work appears to be careless.
- Do not allow your books to be decorated with stickers or graffiti.
- Always head written work with a title and a date.
- Try to draft your work then check for content, organisation and accuracy. Rework as necessary, then write out neatly.
- Take care with layout making proper use of margins and indented paragraphs.
- Write in blue or black ink and only colour when this is necessary to aid presentation.
- Proof read all work for spelling, punctuation and grammar. Don’t hope for the best – make sure your work is correct otherwise your marks and grades will suffer in all subjects.
