Essential 8- Ready to learn

This is the equipment that is needed for lessons:

 

  • Pen
  • Pencil
  • Ruler
  • Pencil Case
  • Blue Pen
  • Calulator
  • Drama / PE kit
  • S​chool Bag
  • Y​ears 10 & 11 - Knowledge Organisers
  •  

    All pupils must bring their Essential 8 into school every day. This will be checked in form classes every morning. Without a properly stocked pencil case and bag, a pupil is putting up their first hurdle to making excellent progress – for themselves and their peers.

    If your child arrives to school after 8:30am and/or fails to bring in their basic Essential 8 equipment (pen, pencil, ruler, blue pen, timetable and bag). They will receive a break time detention that day.

     

    If they fail to attend this detention then they will receive an hour’s detention on Friday with a member of the Leadership Team. Parents will be informed about this detention from a notification on their Arbor parent App.

     

     

    Please note it is essential that you bring a bag to school every day.
