Mobile Phones
The school has no objection to pupils having mobile phones in their possession. However, the use of a mobile phone during the school day is forbidden unless permission is given by a teacher. No photographs or videos should be taken without the consent of those being photographed.
It is essential that:
• Mobile phones are insured • The phone has a security PIN number • Pupils know exactly what to do in the event of loss or theft of the phone as the School can take no responsibility in such cases • Mobile phones are secured in lockers or handed in to PE teachers when changing for PE or games
Stationery
Books are provided but pupils are expected to have a pencil case containing a minimum of two pens, a pencil, sharpener, eraser and ruler. Pupils will also find it useful to have coloured pencils, a highlighter pen and mathematical aids such as a compass, protractor and set squares.
Stationery Shop
Also on the premises is a small stationery shop from which pupils may buy such items as loose-leaf files, file paper, writing implements etc. These items appear on the school account as “Stationery Shop”. If parents wish to set a termly limit on what may be spent at the shop, they should do so in writing by the beginning of term, marked for the attention of the School Secretary.
