Whickham Equipment
As part of our continuing drive to raise standards and achievement, Pupils must carry an equipment pack which enables full participation in lessons.
The equipment pack is critical to ensuring that you are fully prepared to learn and can present your work to the highest standard. We expect you to ensure that your pack is always equipped with the basic equipment outlined in the table below. If a pack is damaged then it is your responsibility to ensure it is replaced with a clear pencil case. Pencil cases must be clear to conform to examination regulations.
Items Required
| Pupils are responsible for | School will provide |
|---|---|
| Pens (Black and Green) | Compass |
| Pencil | Glue |
| Mini whiteboard pen | Post-its |
| Green highlighter | Flashcards |
| Ruler | Whiteboard & cleaning cloth |
| Protractor | Coloured pens and pencils |
| Rubber | |
| Scientific calculator | |
| Clear pencil case |
Pupil stationery packs can be purchased from the school via ParentPay. Items are then delivered to your child via their tutor.
Individual items of equipment can be purchased using rewards points via class charts or at our lunch time pop up shop. Equipment is sold to pupils at cost, no profit is made.
In addition to the equipment in the equipment packs pupils also require:
- A suitable scientific calculator (these can be purchased separately to the equipment pack via the online shop)
- An apron (for D&T)
- A sketchbook (for Art)
Year 7 Starter Pack
- Contains an equipment pack as well as the items listed above. You can purchase this via the Parent Pay.
We also recommend:
- Some form of protective wallet or file divider to support pupils in looking after their homework and other documents. An expanding file with dividers for each subject is ideal and relatively cheap (usually available for under £5):
