Equipment and Lockers

Equipment

Lockers

Your son should have a rough book and an adequately stocked pencil case, including:

Lockers are provided for your son to store his Chromebook, books, bags, games kit, etc. There is no obligation to have a locker however it is highly recommended for securing possessions. There is a one off charge of £20 for the use of a locker, which will cover the whole of the time he is at the School. You will need to provide your son with two padlocks; one padlock for his equipment locker and one for P.E./Games. As your son joins the school, the Finance Department will set up a ‘parent pay’ for the cost of the locker. If you subscribe to a locker your son will subsequently receive an email asking him to give details of his locker so that we can collate locker use. Lockers are also available for the storage of valuable items in the Sports Hall and at Grist’s. Please purchase this second combination padlock either from the School Shop or elsewhere, so he may take advantage of one of these lockers too.

It is considered important that each pupil has a small dictionary with him for all his subjects (available from Tiffin Shop). We expect pupils to take particular care of their Chromebook and any textbooks issued to them. In all subjects they will be asked to cover their text- books. All exercise books must be covered with plastic covers, which are available from the Tiffin Shop.
