Wednesday 1st July – Primary Transfer Day 8:45am – 2:30pm
Year 6 students will come to ICC for sample lessons to get a feel of secondary school life. They should wear their primary school uniform and wear trainers. We will provide your child with a lunch, however, if your child has a dietary requirement or food allergy, please can we ask them to bring a packed lunch. For the morning break, please can you provide your child with a light snack and a drink for break time (sugary snacks or fizzy drinks are not permitted). Please can we ask any packed lunches or snacks are nut free. We also recommend that your child has a refillable water bottle that they can refill during break and lunchtime.
We will be dismissing students at 2.30pm from our site and students will be able to leave freely, or you can make arrangements with your child to meet them at the front of the school. Please be mindful that before 8:30am and from 2:30pm onwards the road into school and parking will become very congested. Therefore, it is advisable to drop off and collect your child promptly.

If a student comes into school wearing any piercing item, the student will be asked to remove it, regardless of when the piercing was done.
Parents/Carers will appreciate that text books are costly, so it is important that each student should be equipped with a large strong bag. You are asked to ensure that it is not over-sized but large enough to take a fair number of books and A4 ring binders without bending or distortion.
Backpacks and messenger bags are our preferred style.
Students are required to have pencil case to carry their equipment. This should contain a minimum of a black and a green pen, pencil, ruler, eraser and a protractor. Students can use their own coloured pencils and felt tips. Black pens are required for all written work and examinations. (A clear pencil case is required for mock and external exams only).
It is essential students have a scientific calculator for their lessons. Aurora AX-595TV is the brand we use in school.
Students can purchase pencil cases containing equipment and scientific calculators from our Reprographics Department at a lower price than high street prices.
