This Acer Nitro meets all your requirements.
http/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834315168

It is also thin, so it won't be as heavy to lug around when you are at school.

It does not have a disc drive, but if you need one, you can always buy a external disc drive.

EDIT: I was blind for a second and thought the Nitro was 15 inches. My mistake.

I'll keep looking.

Okay, I found a different laptop (Lenovo Y700) that meets all your requirements... And has a 15 inch screen.

It does not have a disc drive, but you can always buy a external one if needed.

Problem, Lenovo.com doesn't ship to Canada but, Lenovo.com/ca does at a $500 price inflation with no coupon codes or promo codes to compensate

My apologizes for not responding earlier...

Here is a Asus laptop that meets all your requirements is $999 Canadian. It also has a disc drive.

I am not one that is good when it comes to currency and all that, but I will try my best.

The best option that I know are asus n laptops. As all the games can be played using the igpu avoid getting one with a dgpu. Try and get a 4th gen ulv i5 and an ssd for the best performance. Or look at the msi ghost or apache range. I don't know how much cad $ are in terms of £ though.
