PE kit can be bought online at www.schoolblazer.com where you will be able to see the full range of kit on the dedicated Frensham Heights pages.

Nursery to Year 3 PE Kit

Please note, Schoolblazer recommends buying the older PE kit for Year 3, we don’t require this for Year 3, we recommend the kit as shown above, but it is your choice if you want to buy big to wear in Year 4 as well. They will be wearing their PE kit all day in Year 3, so choose something they will be comfortable in.

Yrs 4 & up PE Kit

(to see all items in Schoolblazer, you need to select 'prefer not to say' for your child's gender)

Essential items:

• Fitness t-shirt

• Bottoms, choose from below*:

* if none of these are comfortable for your child, they may wear navy or black 2-in-1 running style shorts like these - click to view

• Long socks

• Shin pads and mouth guards are also essential for everyone

Shin pads can be bought from any sports store and should be the correct size for your child. Mouth guards can be bought before your child starts school but parents will be able to buy a custom-fitted mouth guard from Opro. Our Sports Department will send you more details in September about booking your child in for an appointment to be fitted for these at the beginning of term.

• Swimwear

Boys are asked to bring swimming trunks/shorts (not beach wear) and swimming goggles. Girls are asked to bring a one-piece swimsuit in a plain colour, swimming goggles and a swim hat

• Footwear

Boots - can be used for football and rugby. Something simple like this will work.

Trainers - Astro trainers are perfect for all year round. For summer term, some more comprehensive running/athletic trainers are useful.

• Sports bags

As you will see when you log on, Schoolblazer also stock a sports bag, but students can bring any sensible sports bag as long as it is clearly named and not too bulky.

Desirable items:

Optional items:

• Hockey stick - not needed as we will provide one for lessons. However, if you would like to buy a basic stick its always nice for students to bring their own, especially if they aspire to play in matches. (Wouldn’t be needed until January).

• Cricket Whites - not essential.

• Rugby - only additional kit needed is a gumshield, this is also a requirement for hockey so must be purchased before January! You can find these cheaply online (Amazon/Sports Direct) or we have partnership with Opro if you wanted a more specific product but is quite expensive - click here.

Children in Nursery to Year 3 get their first taste of the wonder and excitement of outdoor learning through Forest School, which they have as part of the weekly curriculum. Wellington boots are definitely required. Waterproof jackets and trousers are provided. Children in Years 4 to 6 can take part in Forest Class as an extracurricular activity. All Junior School students will require a waterproof jacket.

For general one-day OE activities and extracurricular activities (ECAs), the essential list for all Middle School and Sixth Form students is: 1 quick-drying t-shirt 1 pair of quick-drying trousers 1 waterproof jacket 1 pair of waterproof trousers 1 pair of walking boots or sturdy trainers 1 fleece

Students taking part in longer OE activities, including Duke of Edinburgh expeditions, will be given a relevant kit list in advance.

Students in Years 7-11 need the usual equipment for writing and drawing, plus a ruler, compass (for drawing circles), protractor (measuring angles) and a calculator. For calculators we recommend the Casio FX-83GT CW or the slightly more expensive Casio FX-991CW (which has better functionality suitable in Y10/Y11 but can also be used in Y7/Y8/Y9).

Students in the Sixth Form studying A Level Maths need a calculator (we recommend the FX-991CW) but a graphical calculator Casio FX-CG50 would benefit all those studying A Level and Further Maths (but this is not essential). We can often get the graphical calculator at discounted rates so please ask your Maths teacher before purchasing.

Note: For students that are planning to study A-Level or Further Maths it would be worth considering purchasing the Casio FX-CG50 (in year 10 or 11), this can be arranged through the school usually at a discounted rate so please speak to your Maths teacher before purchasing to see if appropriate for your child.

All students in Years 7 to 13 must have a laptop.

In the 2025/26 academic year we introduced a laptop lease scheme for student devices. The aim is for all students to attend school with the same device, which makes it easier to support and to manage in the classroom.

We have chosen a Lenovo – 13w 2-in-1 Gen 3 device as our specified school device and we have various fixed term lease/purchase options available. This device will come with a stylus and a shock proof case. They also come with an accidental damage support package and we have a swap out facility available whereby we lend a laptop to the student should their laptop need to be sent off for repair. The school will manage the repair service for you.

The devices will be built to a school specification and managed by the school. If ordered by the 1st August they will be ready for collection at school at the beginning of the September term.

The attachment below gives information about the scheme and how to place an order for a laptop, but a more detailed walk through of the scheme is available from this YouTube link Making 1:2:1 devices schemes at Frensham Heights Easy4u! (youtube.com)

If you have any questions regarding the laptops and the lease, please contact Easy4U (their email address is on both the flyer and the video) in the first instance. All other IT queries please do contact IT@frensham.org

Students studying both GCSE and A Level should have their own DSLR or similar – it hasn’t got to be top of the range but it must have the feature to change the shutter speed / aperture / iso.    The major contenders as we know are Canon or Nikon but there are a lot of other options.  The school cameras are Canon 1300D (think this model is now obsolete, look at something like 250D or 2000D, the more zeros the lower the spec) - if students want to be able to use the lenses that school have then they should obviously take this into consideration.  Most standard camera bodies come with a standard lens (18-55) any additional lenses are a bonus !  Students could also consider mirrorless which is a smaller/ less chunky alternative (ie. Canon EOS R100 - Compact Mirrorless Digital Camera or similar) or there are compact camera that you don’t have the facility to change the lens.   A good place to benchmark price is www.wexphotovideo.com   https://www.wexphotovideo.com/canon-eos-2000d-digital-slr-camera-body-with-18-55mm-is-ii-lens-1655053/ Most cameras come with just one battery, a spare can be useful and remember all cameras need an SD card – better to have a couple of lower size storage than one big one, just incase of damage or losing it.
