Secondary school stationery checklist
At primary school, your child was probably provided with all the stationery supplies and books they needed. But once they move to secondary school, they'll be expected to have their own set of stationery and bring it to lessons with them.
Pens, pencils etc
Generously sized pencil case
Blue or black rollerball pens/biros: buy in bulk and have at least two in your pencil case at a time
Handwriting pen or fountain pen (with extra cartridges if needed)
Highlighters: ideally four different colours
HB pencils: buy in bulk
Pencil sharpener
Rubber
30cm ruler (folding ones take less space and are less likely to snap)
Ink eraser or correction fluid
Art/technology supplies
2B pencils
4B pencils
Set of colouring pencils
Glue stick
Scissors
Maths supplies
Compass
360-degree protractor
Set square
Scientific calculator (some schools want kids to have a specific model, so check before you buy)
English/modern and foreign language supplies
English dictionary
English thesaurus
Dictionary for each foreign language studied
Computing supplies
Memory stick
Earphones
General stationery supplies
A4 ring binder or lever arch file
A4 subject divider cards
A4 punched pockets
Hole punch
Spiral bound jotter
Clear sticky back plastic for covering exercise books (stock up on this as you're likely to go through a number of rolls!)
This creates a private checklist in your account.
