Year 7
Welcome Year 7
“The best way to predict your future is to create it” Abraham Lincoln
A very warm welcome to all our new Year 7 students and their families.
Starting secondary school is an exciting and important step, and we are delighted that you are joining our school community. As your Achievement Team Leader, I understand that this transition can bring a mixture of excitement, curiosity, and perhaps a few nerves. Please know that you will be supported every step of the way.
Year 7 is a fantastic opportunity to make new friends, explore new subjects, develop new skills, and discover your talents and interests. We encourage every student to approach this new chapter with confidence, resilience, and a willingness to embrace the opportunities that lie ahead.
My expectations for all Year 7 students are high. I believe that every student can achieve success when they consistently demonstrate our core expectations: Being In The Right Place, At The Right Time, Doing The Right Thing. This means arriving to lessons prepared with the correct equipment, showing a positive attitude to learning, taking pride in your work, and treating others with respect and kindness. By getting the small things right every day, you will build the habits that lead to success both in and out of the classroom.
Our aim is to ensure that every student feels happy, safe, and valued, enabling them to achieve their very best both academically and personally. We have a dedicated team of staff who are committed to supporting your wellbeing, celebrating your successes, and helping you overcome any challenges you may face.
I am looking forward to getting to know each of you and seeing you grow throughout your secondary school journey. Together, we will work hard, aim high, and create many memorable experiences along the way.
Welcome to Year 7—we are delighted to have you with us and cannot wait to see all that you will achieve
Mr Rudgley
Year 7 Achievement Team Leader
