Students are required to wear our school uniform which engenders a strong sense of belonging and identity. The correct uniform must be worn in school, at school events and activities, and on the way to and from school. Students who do not have the correct full uniform should bring a note from home explaining the reason.
Our judgement is final in all issues relating to uniform. Please ensure that all uniform, PE kits and bags are clearly named.
Please see our Uniform Policy detailed out below for comprehensive information.

PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
We advise students to wear aprons for lessons in Technology, Art and Science. These will be provided. Goggles or eye shields will also be provided when required in Technology and Science lessons.
Being prepared for lessons is essential to a successful learning experience. We expect all students to come to school with a fully stocked pencil case to ensure they have the necessary tools for every class. Please take a moment to go through the equipment list and double-check that you have everything required. If you are struggling to source any items, please don't hesitate to contact us for assistance. Additionally, please review the important information from the maths department regarding the required scientific calculators.

Scientific Calculators for Maths lessons
We will be using scientific calculators in many Maths lesson as, currently, two of the three GCSE papers are Calculator papers. Students therefore need to become very familiar with their calculators from year 7.
There are many different makes of calculator, and they do not all work in the same way or have the same functionality. As a result of this, we strongly recommend these particular models:
Casio FX-83GTCW (battery powered)
Casio FX-85GTCW (solar and battery powered)
These are available in high street stores or online and there are often special offers available over the summer holiday period.
We are also able to access the Casio FX-85GTCW for £10 (current price) and will be offering this for purchase through the department.
If you have any concerns about purchasing a calculator, please do get in touch with the Maths department at the start of next term and we will aim to answer any queries you may have.
