What do I need? ...

Going into A Level is there anything I need other than a pencil case, folders and a notebook? x

Well my brain fell out over the summer so that's not going to be possible :tongue: x
You could bring a tablet if you think it might be useful :smile:
Depends on your subjects :beard:

You also need your brain :tongue:
Not an item, but a to-do list is advisable - I lost track a lot of what I had to do.

I'm going to have to find it ... it might be in the swimming pool :/
Dividers for your folders are helpful? Textbooks?

Stationery, i.e. pens, pencils, ruler, rubber, sharpener, calculator, compass, protractor if doing maths/sciences etc
File dividers to separate your subject work
Plastic wallets to store loose sheets
A diary to record homework (if your college doesn't give you one)
Lined paper (refill pad, notebook, sheets kept in your folder etc)

Mini dictionary - I used this one for my French AS--> https://www.amazon.co.uk/Collins-Gem-French-School-Dictionary/dp/0007569319/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1473074962&sr=8-1&keywords=9780007325467
has a cheeky verb table - veeeery useful :yy:
Calculator? I use this one (going into maths and chemistry A2 now :wink: ) --> https://www.amazon.co.uk/Generic-FX-991ESPLUS-SA-UH-FX-991ESPLUS-Scientific-Calculator/dp/B0034BAQS8/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1473075016&sr=8-15&keywords=calculator
but I also have this one for exams --> https://www.amazon.co.uk/Casio-FX-85GTPLUS-S-UH-FX-85GTPLUS-Scientific-Calculator/dp/B00364NNU6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1473075016&sr=8-2&keywords=calculator

hope this helps :smile:
maths set is not really needed but make sure you have a ruler :wink:
She could put it in a locker if her school has one? Tablets and Chromebooks are really popular with the students at my sixth form. You must go to a pretty shonky college if you're under the fear of being robbed :h:

I think its good to have a notebook to write all your notes in like you would in high school rather than lose sheets of paper in a folder
