�e canteen also serves food at break and before school.
Did you know?
How much money do I need for my lunch?At Fram, we have a cashless system. �is means that your parents/carers put money into your account or you bring money into school and put the money into your account. �is is the payment machine. You put your finger on the machine, it tells you how much money you have in your account and then you can add money to it. Your parents/carers can also add money to your account online.
Where can I go at break and lunch?�ere are a large number of social spaces in school for you to go to with your friends during break and lunch time. �ere is also space to play football with other people in your year group.
�ere are also a large variety of clubs on during lunch and a�er school that you can join.
Student ReceptionWe have two receptions in school. Students and parents/carers all use Student Reception. Mrs Davison works in the reception and can help you with any questions you may have. If you ever get lost, you can go to Student Reception and get some help.
Main Reception is for all other visitors to the school.

When you start school, we will give you a planner and a knowledge organiser folder.
You will bring the basic equipment of a pen (black or blue), pencil, ruler, pencil sharpener, rubber and a green pen. You will use green pen on your work when you receive feedback from your teachers.

It’s always good to carry spare equipment just in case they run out. Your STEP tutor will check your equipment every day.
Top Tip!
What is a STEP tutor?A STEP tutor is a teacher that you will see twice a day. �ey will register you in the morning and a�ernoon. �eir role is to support you, monitor your attendance, celebrate your achievements with you and give you advice on how to get the best from school.
You will have the same STEP tutor for 5 years. From Year 7 to Year 11.
What is my planner for?�e planner is part of the essential equipment and you need to have it in school every day. Every lesson, you will put it on the desk you are sitting at so that the teacher can award you with achievement stamps.

What if I don’t understand what I have been asked to do in a lesson?All we ask of all our students is that you try your best. Staff are here to help you if you don’t understand. Staff will also show you examples of what they expect from a task before you have a go.
We don’t expect you to know everything!
I worry about forgetting something.�e best thing to do is to pack your bag each night. Check your timetable and check what lessons you have and what books or kit you will need.
Don’t forget, you will need your essential equipment every day!
