Student Support: Year 7

Year 7 is a crucial year for our students in ensuring they have a successful transition from primary school to secondary school. Whilst there are many differences that our students have to adapt to, we ensure that their transition is smooth and well supported. Throughout the year, we aim to ensure that all of our students become resilient and curious learners who always endeavour to achieve their best.

Our Year 7s experience a vast and diverse curriculum, studying a range of subjects at Key Stage 3.

This allows them to lay the foundations of core knowledge and enables them to develop the skills needed to continue their journey through secondary school, GCSEs and beyond. Our Year 7s also have the opportunity to become immersed within our vast enrichment programme, enabling them to collaborate with other students both in Year 7 and across the school. From September, the Year 7s will be assigned to a House and will get the opportunity to compete, support and champion their House. They will also get the opportunity to join the student council, go on a range of school trips and end the year by supporting new students transition as Year 7 buddies.

We have extremely high expectations of our students from day one and strive to not only see them achieve academically, but grow into students that represent our core values as kind and respectful members of both our school and the wider community.
