Students Will Need to Bring with Them in a Bag

June 2017

Dear Parents,

We are delighted that your son or daughter will be joining us in September.

We try to ensure that the transfer from primary to secondary school is as enjoyable as possible and, with this in mind we are arranging for our new students to spend a day with us in July. Hopefully they will learn a little about the school and what we expect of them when they begin the new term in September.

Welcome Day for Students: Wednesday July 12th 2017

Your son or daughter will spend the whole day with us (8.40am – approximately 3.00pm) on Wednesday 12th July. They should come dressed as they would for a normal day at their Primary School. They will take part in a variety of activities, which will help them get to know staff in school and also their new classmates. They will also be told which of our four Houses they will be in – Laird, Mayer, Stanley or Wilson and will meet their Head of House, who will be looking after them for the next five years.

Students will need to bring with them in a bag:

A packed lunch, including a drink

A pen

A pencil

Training shoes for sports activity during lunchtime

Their Achievement Passport Folder that was issued to them by their Primary School (if it has not already been handed in).

There are three school buses

The 610 uses the following route:

Eccleston Avenue (8.02am), Beechwood Road, Acre Lane, Allport Road, Bridle Road, Eastham Rake, Plymyard Avenue.

The 623 uses the following route:

If there is room your child will be welcome on these services. Students will be expected to make their own arrangements for going home.

Yours faithfully,

S. Goodwin
