Year 7 Learning

Welcome to the parents and carers of our new Year 7. 

On this page we have a series of videos for parents and carers to support their child.  Year 7 have had a brilliant first month so we hope that these videos will help you further to support your child with their learning as they make the transition to secondary school.  

Each video  focuses on a different area of school life.  As always, if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with the school
