Dear Parent/Carer,
We hope you are well and we are very much looking forward to the Induction Events taking place on Wednesday 3rd July 2024 and over the summer holidays; this letter outlines information about the events and the key dates/times they take place.
Welcome Day for Students – Wednesday 3rd July 2024
- Students are to be dropped off at Main Reception between 8.25 and 8.35 where they will then be directed towards the J Block gates and guided towards their line up lines.
- Students will receive their Form and House allocation before the Welcome Day and will meet their new peers in their Forms .
- Students will then take part in activities including team building exercises as well as a range of subjects they will be studying from September.
- Students will have a break time from 10.30 – 10.45am and lunch from 12-1pm where students should bring their own packed lunch.
- The Induction Day will end at 2.45pm, 20 minutes before the rest of the school finishes for the day so our new students have plenty of time to leave the site and be collected.
