Pupils should bring the following to school everyday:

• Pencilcase with pens, pencil, sharpener, rubber, ruler, calculator and coloured pencils 
• A reading book
• Exercise books (provided by school) for that day’s lessons
• PE kit (Only on PE days).

Pupils may also like to bring a notebook to record important messages or independent learning.
