Please use the designated entry points according to year group (see diagram below). Kindly note that parents will not be able to enter the school premises without the parent lanyard.

Please bring the following items to school each day. We encourage students to take ownership of their belongings and we ask that every item brought into school is clearly marked with name and class in case items are misplaced.

Food

Please ensure that your child has enough food, stored in a cool bag for one break and lunch, and water for the school day. Water dispensers are available in corridors and communal areas to refill. Children are only required to bring a small bag each day with their water bottle, lunch box and device (Years 2-4). Just so you know, wheelie bags are not allowed.

We encourage students to bring healthy and well balanced lunch boxes to school. It must be noted that the school operates a strict no-nuts policy (including Nutella) to ensure we maximise student safety in relation to allergies. In line with Muslim values and respect for local culture, we also do not allow pork products into school. 

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) 

For Years 3 and above, we operate a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy as part of outstanding digital provision. As education constantly innovates within the world around us, we have a commitment at WIS towards the safe and effective use of technological devices as learning tools. Students in FS - Year 2 do not require an electronic device for learning. Below are more details and examples of how we use devices to inspire and support your child’s learning at school.

1. Accessing inspiring online resources – limiting the need for printed textbooks and worksheets

2. Interactive quizzes and activities to check understanding and provide instant feedback

3. Creating and recording videos to explain and showcase their learning and understanding

4. Self and peer assessment opportunities

5. Developing independent learning skills, directed by teachers such as TTRockstars to practice times table fluency and Spelling Shed to promote spelling strategies

6. When devices are not being used during learning time, teachers and staff ensure they are put away either in children’s boxes or bags

7. All lessons are taught face-to-face, and no lessons are taught online

8. We are committed to developing children’s writing and fine motor skills; therefore, students have exercise books for every subject, which contain the vast majority of students’ work.

Thank you for your support and partnership with this BYOD approach for enhancing your children’s learning. Please refer to this FAQs sheet and Device Policy for further information. Recommended device specifications and a list of applications can be found here.
