Uniform and Equipment
The policy and its implementation will operate within the framework of current legislation. Our uniform is both smart, formal and ‘fit for purpose’ in a school setting. It is designed to promote equality and a sense of pride in our community. Most items of uniform can be purchased from a range of suppliers but when specialist items are required (e.g. our blazer) we provide financial assistance to those parents or carers requiring it.
The policy applies to all students in Years 7 to 11 when on the campus, on their journey to and from school and when representing the school on visits.
Equipment
At Framwellgate School, our students are ready to learn. Being organised, and ready for school, matters. We expect our students to look smart, have the right equipment for lessons, be on time, and meet homework deadlines.
To help you and your child prepare for their learning, there are some items that they should bring to school every day. These are compulsory and their tutor will check they have these things with them every morning:
Pre-prepared equipment pack (clear pencil case containing 3x black pens, 3x green pens, ruler, pencil, rubber). These should be purchased on ParentPay for £1 and they will be issued to students during induction days in September. In addition:
- a bag
- a scientific calculator; we recommend that students purchase this one. Casio-FX85GT-CW
These items can be purchased via ParentPay. Please note, students may need to use a calculator in science and geography lessons as well as maths so it is important they bring this to school each day.
We encourage our students to manage their homework deadlines and keep key dates and information to hand. Parents and carers can support their children by talking to them about how they are planning their work, and how they will ensure deadlines are achieved.
