A leaflet with further details is available below.

Who can attend?
Summer School is open to students who will be joining The Romsey School in September.
Will Summer School help my child prepare for September?
Yes. Summer School is designed to help students feel confident, make new friends, learn routines, and become familiar with the school environment before starting Year 7.
Can students attend if they do not know anyone else coming?
Absolutely. Many students attend on their own, and activities are specifically designed to help students make new friends and feel welcomed.
When is Summer School?
Summer is running between the 24th and 29th of August. Each day has a different theme, so you are able to sign your child up to as many sessions as you see appropriate.
Does it cost to attend Summer School?
Yes, so that we are able to run Summer School, each day costs £25pp - funding is available to support pupils on Free School Meals.
Can my child attend only some of the days?
Due to popularity, students will be allocated a maximum of two days. We will try to accommodate as many students as we can each day.
What should I do if my child is ill and cannot attend?
Please email kdowner@theromseyschool.org as soon as you can.
