We ask that you arrive to school no later than 8:25am, your year group will be brought inside shortly after, giving you time to arrive and settle in your classroom for Form Time.

You will break for 20 minutes after your second lesson. The Dining Hall will be open if you would like to get breakfast, a snack or a drink. You will have a 40 minute break at lunchtime at 12:20pm. During these breaks you are able to go outside to a supervised area for some fresh air (dependent on weather conditions).

You will need to have the following items with you when you come to school each day.

• Student planner - this will be provided by us.
• Pencil case
• Pens (black or blue ink and a purple pen)
• Pencil
• Rubber
• Pencil sharpener
• Ruler
• Scientific Calculator
• Protractor
• Pair of compasses
• Whiteboard pen
• Reading book
• Water bottle
• Face mask
• Hand sanitiser

Mobile phones can be brought to school, but they must be turned off on arrival and not be used, turned on, seen or heard during the school day.

Bridge Schoolwear in Milnsbride and Natasha Schoolwear in Huddersfield Town Centre are the stockists of our school uniform. The full list of school uniform required is available to view here

You don't need to bring money into school to pay for items. We are a cashless school, so we ask that your parents/carers use the ParentPay account that has been created for you. You can use this account to pay for replacement student planners, revision guides, school lunches, school trips etc. More information on this will be available shortly.

Yes, you will have a locker provided at school. There is a small charge of £5 for this which covers the cost of the locker until the end of Year 11. We ask that this payment is made on ParentPay. You will be given your locker key on your first day with us in September. 

As well as your form tutors and your Head of Year, we have a Wellbeing team at Royds Hall who look at the social, emotional and mental health needs of students. The Wellbeing room is located just past the Dining Room, and we have a Year 7 break club once a week when you can come down and chat to staff, play games, draw, read, or just chat with friends. 

If you want to speak to any member of the wellbeing team, you can stop us around school, or ask any of your teachers to get a message to us. Or you can email us yourselves at royds.help@sharemat.co.uk 

You'll also hear from the Wellbeing team in assemblies and tutor time activities, and see us around school popping in and out of lessons.

Yes! Your planner will be one of your most important pieces of equipment. As well as being used for your homework and deadlines, it's also one of the main ways for teachers and parents to communicate with one another on a regular basis. We ask that a parent or carer signs your planner each week to show that they have received any messages from school. You'll be given your planner when you start here with us. If, at any point, your planner becomes lost or damaged, your parents/carers will be asked to purchase a replacement planner on ParentPay.
