What time does school start and finish?
Students line up on South Courts, Year 7 area, at 0835 in form groups and in alphabetical order
Students and tutors leave the courts at 0840-0845 and go to their form rooms, which are the teachers teaching rooms.
The school day finishes at 3.10pm, there are clubs after school, including homework club that you might want to join. If you wish to attend a club and need to get the late bus home, you must sign up for a place on the late bus outside the student support hub.
Which entrance do I use?
All students must use the student entrance which is clearly signposted, there are also members of staff outside the front of school in the mornings and afternoons directing students where to go.
Don’t worry, there are plenty of staff on duty during the school day wearing high vis jackets, you won’t get lost.
Will I be with my friends?
In lessons, students will be mixed and there are lots of opportunities to make friends, which is one of the best things about secondary school, you will begin to find other people with similar interests, ideas or sense of humour!
You will have someone from your primary school in form with you, but we cannot guarantee it will be one of your best friends.
Will I get lost?
Maybe, however it will not take long for you to get used to the buildings and classrooms. You will have a tour of the school on transition days in June and again when you start in September.
There are also lots of staff around school to help you.
The most important thing to do is ask – if you are unsure of anything.
What happens if I don’t understand the work?
Just ask. No-one will be cross with you for asking if you are unsure. We would much rather you ask tan struggle or miss out on learning something. Don’t be scared to put your hand up and ask, that is what our staff are there for, to guide you with your learning.
