Required School Equipment

Southmoor students are expected to bring a minimum amount of equipment to each lesson. Equipment should be well maintained and kept safe in a pencil case. Your pencil case should contain the essential equipment you will need every day at school. Pupils must bring at least this equipment with them every day they are in school and keep it in good condition.

 

 

The required equipment for every day at Southmoor is:

• A Black Pen (x2)
• A Green Pen
• A Pencil
• A Ruler (15cm)
• A Pencil Sharpener
• An Eraser
• A Pencil Case to hold all of the above
• A White Board Pen
• A Mini White Board Dry Eraser or Suitable Cloth
• A Casio model FX-83GT CW or FX-85GT CW Calculator
• Your lesson Timetable
• A Gluestick
• A Clear, Refillable, Plastic Water Bottle

Please note: All of the above items may be purchased in our school shop at break times. A full price list can be found here.

It is highly recommended that you also bring:

• Colouring Pencils
• A simple wristwatch to help with time-keeping and punctuality
• A suitable bag to hold the above plus books and other equipment

Please note: Though this equipment can prove useful, it is not essential and will sometimes be supplied by the school when necessary. Sharp objects such as scissors must always be provided by the school. Glue will also always be provided when needed and should not be brought to school.

Pupils should not bring:

• Mobile Phones – Although we accept that a mobile phone is sometimes necessary for parent-pupil contact, it should be turned off during the school day and remain out of site. It should never be used at any point during the school day or on school premises. Phones will be confiscated by staff should students be seen using their phone or other connected device. From september, phones will be required to be sealed within a secure mobile phone pouch. Please also note that the Academy will take no responsibility for any such items brought into school that may become damaged, lost or stolen.*
• Headphones – (wired or wireless), like mobile phones, these will be confiscated if they are seen.*
• Tippex’ or eraser fluid
• Scissors or any other sharp object
• Permenant Marker pens
• Solvent BasedGlue of any type

Confiscated Items

* Confiscated phones and other devices can be collected from the school shop at the end of the school day. Should a student refuse to hand over a phone or other device then our pastoral staff will become involved and the incident will be reported home to parents and carers. Parents/Carers will then be required to come into school to collect the device in question.
