They will need their exercise books, basic writing equipment, a reading book, their Knowledge Organiser folder, Self-Quizzing book and their planners every day. They may also need PE kit, ingredients and an apron for Food and Nutrition. Mathematics equipment including a calculator will also be needed. Items such as calculators, pens, rulers etc can be purchased in the School Learning Resource Centre (LRC).
