Rose is one of our current year 8 students, she has put together a short video for you. Rose talks about her first day at school, she explains how she feels about some of her lessons and tells you about some of the exciting things you will be able to get involved in.
At the moment we are working very differently to the way we were a year ago. Students are working in 'bubble ' classrooms to avoid coming into contact with other year groups. Each year group has a separate lunch and break time and we have Year Group Forms. We are incredibly proud of the way our students and staff adapt to this ever changing situation and feel confident that our academy is a really safe place to come and learn. As the situation with COVID changes we may adapt our school day and how our school day runs. Facebook and Twitter will be updated as well as our website, texts will be sent to parents and if any of you have any questions you can email us at enquiries@ripon.outwood.com.
Do all your homework even if you don't want to do it, it's always good to do it and when you get into year 11 your GCSE's will be easier!
It won't be as hard as you might think!
Honestly, nothing is as scary as it seems, and you wont get anywhere unless you take yourself there.
Don't be worried about moving, you will get lost a few times but people will help you find your way. You will get used to where you are going!
Work hard be polite and try and talk to new people!
Remember your planner!
Don't worry about it, everyone is helpful and will show you around if you get lost
Don't overthink about what will happen on your first day, it will be fine!
It may be a worry at first, but all the other year groups and teachers are always there to help you when you get lost or aren't sure what to do. It's a very friendly school and very welcoming, you have nothing to be afraid about just ask if you need help.
