Equipment list for school
A message from Mr. Kelly
Dear Parents,
First of all, thank you for all the help and support you have been giving your (all of our) children this last academic year. The children have made so much progress and this would not have been possible without you.
As you know, school budgets are becoming tighter (this has been highlighted by the teachers' industrial action over the last few months as they have challenged the government for fair funding for schools).
Unfortunately, we are getting to a stage now where the school is struggling to provide some of the basic equipment which your child needs to support learning.
Whereas we will try our best to provide as much as we can, I would like to ask for your support in preparing your children for school.
Please look at the list below and ensure your child brings all of this to school with them in September:
- A pencil for writing (3 per term)
- A 30cm ruler
- A glue stick
- A rubber
- A sharpener
- A black erasable whiteboard pen (2 per term)
- A small pack of coloured pencils
- A black biro writing pen (if they have a pen license)
All of these should be kept within a small pencil case. Please do not buy oversized pencil cases as these take up too much space and cause distractions.
Children do not need to bring sets of felt-tipped pens with them each day - if these are required, teachers will ask the children to bring them in good time.
Please take the time to put your child's name clearly on the pencil case and on their items. The children must learn to be responsible for their own items.
Shops such as Asda, Tesco and Poundland will be selling all of these items cheaply over the summer holidays - this will be a cost-effective way to equip your child.
Many thanks for your ongoing support,
Warm regards,
Mr. Kelly
