Due to the current situation with Covid 19, in September we are requesting that students come equipped with a basic art kit to use during their lessons which also includes things that will help support them with their homework tasks. Given the current situation we feel it very important that pupils have access to their own equipment as far as possible, enabling us to reduce the amount of shared equipment that pupils will come into contact with on a daily basis.

KS3 – Years 7-9

Below is a list of equipment that we feel is essential

· Pencil case to transport art equipment.

· 2B Pencil x 2, rubber, 30cm ruler, sharpener.

· Glue stick, scissors, colouring pencils, black fine liner,

· Brushes x2 small, medium.

Non-essential but desirable items

· Small watercolour set.

KS4 – GCSE

We are offering pupils the chance to purchase an art pack through the school at a discounted price. Please refer to the letter below regarding this pack.

Alternatively, you can use and provide your own if you already have access to the necessary equipment and materials at home.

KS5

We are  offering AS and A2 students the chance to purchase a pack of what we feel are the essential “everyday” items that they will need in lessons and at home. Once again you are not obliged to purchase the items if you already have your own

Please refer to the letter regarding this pack below.

Can we thank you in advance for your support with this initiative. We feel given the current situation it is a necessary precaution.

Many thanks

The Art Department
