Dear Parent/Carer,
This is a friendly reminder about the Induction Events taking place on Wednesday 2nd July.
You should have received an email earlier this half term with your child’s form, if you do not have this please let us know and we can provide you with this ahead of Wednesday.
Welcome Day for Students

- Drop-Off Location: Students should be dropped off at the school gate, where they will be directed to the J Block gates and guided to their line-up lines. Please refrain from driving onto the school site to avoid congestion.
- Uniform: Students should attend in their primary school uniform.
- Activities: Students will:
- Receive their Form allocation in advance
- Meet new peers within their Form
- Take part in team-building activities and taster sessions across a range of subjects
- Breaks and Lunch:

- Lunch: 12.00 – 1.00pm. Students should bring a packed lunch.
- Collection Time: The day finishes at 2.45pm, earlier than the rest of the school to allow time for a smooth collection. Students with older siblings or family members in school may wait in the canteen until they are collected.
A short video guide to the drop-off process can be viewed here and on our social media channels to assist with arrival.

Data Collection Form
If you have not yet completed your child’s Data Collection information on Arbor, please do so at your earliest convenience. You can refer to the linked Arbor Guide – Year 7 for support.
First Day of Term – Tuesday 2nd September
The first day of school for Year 7 students is Tuesday 2nd September. Students should arrive at Main Reception between 8.30am and 8.45am, in full school uniform. On this day, only Year 7 students will be in school, allowing them to find their way around and meet their teachers in a quieter environment.
From September, students will be able to hire school lockers at a cost of £20 for five years. This includes a refundable £5 deposit. Payments can be made by cash or card for these.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at schooloffice@southwirral.wirral.sch.uk.
We look forward to seeing you and your child very soon.
