Transition Year 6 to Year 7
Welcome to Year 7
Dear Year 7 Parents, Carers and Pupils,
Welcome to the Year 7 information page. I have been lucky enough to move up the school with the pupils as Year Lead, and we are fortunate to have the following members of staff as tutors, who can be found in the following rooms:
7IW - Room 15 with Mrs Winstanley and Miss Still
7JMH - Room 16 with Miss Hobern
7JG - Room 17 with Mr Greetham
7JS - Room 19 (the huts) with Mrs Slocombe
7CE - Lab 2 with Mr Benham and Mrs Emery
Lunchtimes
Children will eat their lunch in their tutor room except 7CE who will eat in the Hall. KS3 will play first and then come in for lunch.

We aim to provide a broad, balanced and ambitious curriculum, taught by experts in their subjects as far as possible. Students will move to their lessons, as though in a secondary school environment. In addition to English, maths and science, students will have the opportunity to study French or Spanish, humanities, PE and games, design technology, art and PSCHEE. Collective worship which takes the form of both year group and KS3 assemblies represent a way to develop and establish the school’s ethos and values of ROARS.
