Student Devices
As part of our commitment to enhancing learning, all 1st Year and Transition Year students have Chromebooks. Thier is a blended approach, where students continue to use traditional textbooks alongside digital tools to support interactive learning, collaboration, and skill development in a structured and secure environment.
​
Booklists
Most core textbooks are supplied directly through the school's Book Scheme, reducing the need for parents to purchase heavy volumes. However, students will still need to acquire a small amount of stationery and subject-specific materials. You can view the full list of required items below.
Timetable
Keeping track of daily classes and room changes is essential for a smooth school day. The school day can be seen below. Students will recieve their personal timetables when starting school in August.
It will also take some time to get used to a new school building. We encourage you to work with your timetable and the school map to help navigate your way around.
