The first weeks

Your First Day

On your first day we will meet you outside the sports centre.

The only students in on this day are Year 7 and some helpers. We will take you in to the large sports hall and you will be put into mentor groups and teaching groups.

We will do group activities to allow you to get to know the people in your group and some normal lessons.

Your First Few Weeks

You will meet at the sports hall every morning, be put into your groups and be taken to all lessons. You will be brought back to the sports hall at the end of each lesson.

Normally after the first week you are able to make your own way to lessons, but we monitor this and can change when this happens.

You will get lost (along with the new members of staff)! Just ask and someone will help you. We expect this to happen so please do not worry. I am amazed every year how quickly the new year 7s find their way around.

We also allow Year 7 students to leave for break, lunch and the buses 5 minutes early to help them settle.

On the buses we ask that all year 7 students sit downstairs. This is to allow us to better keep an eye on them. We have bus monitors on all of the school buses.
