On Arrival
All Year 7 students must arrive promptly; remember that registration starts at 8.45am. On the first day, pupils should enter through the main door in the foyer and go directly to the front of the main hall. After the first day, students are not permitted to enter through the foyer doors and should use the entrance next to the Pupil Reception instead.
Please note: NO CARS are allowed on site to ensure pupil safety
Students need to pack their bags every day and carry them with them during the day. There are no locker facilities in school.
All students in Year 7 will gather in the hall for a short meeting. They will then go to their form rooms with their tutor, where they will be given their individual timetable and school notebook and spend time familiarising themselves with the school. They will then join their teaching groups for period 3 (at 11.10 am).
During the first week, Year 7 students eat lunch early at 11.50am to get used to the system, but after that, lunch is at 12.10 pm, so breakfast is important. There is a Breakfast Club which operates in the school dining hall between 8.00 am – 8.40 am. Orders for lunchtime “Goodie Bags” can be taken before school during this time to prevent lengthy queuing at lunchtime.
