School Equipment and Mobile Devices 

​

It is essential that all pupils come to school fully prepared with the equipment they need for learning.

​

Pupils should bring: 

​

• A sturdy, waterproof school bag 

• A pencil case containing pens and pencils 

• A ruler and eraser 

• A geometry set (available from most supermarkets) 

• A calculator 

​

We recognise that pupils may wish to bring personal electronic devices to school. Pupils are permitted to bring mobile phones and other electronic devices; however, all mobile phones must be switched off and stored in the pupil’s school bag from the first bell until the last bell of the school day. 

​

The following rules apply: 

• Mobile phones must not be used, seen, or heard at any time during the school day. 

• Phones must remain switched off and stored in the pupil’s school bag throughout the day. 

• Any mobile phone that is seen during the school day will be placed in a secure phone pouch in line with the school's mobile phone procedures. 

• Phones and other electronic devices must not be used during lessons or between lessons. 

• Any device that sounds, is used, or is repeatedly seen may be subject to further sanctions in accordance with the school's behaviour policy. 

• All devices remain the responsibility of the pupil. The school cannot accept liability for any loss, damage, or theft. 

​

Headphones are not permitted and must not be used during lessons, between lessons, or at any point during the school day.
