Year 7 Induction Day/Return to School – Wednesday 4th September 2024

Year 7 pupils first day of school is Wednesday 4th September 2024. This is an Induction Day and pupils must arrive at 9.00am and will finish lessons at 2.30pm when they will join the second half of the Year Ahead Meeting. (see further details of this meeting below).

During the day the pupils will spend a significant amount of time getting to know their Form Tutor, other key members of the Year 7 team, as well as the pupils in their class. They will have their photo and biometrics taken, find out how to login to Google Classroom and receive their timetable. They will also have another tour of the school to ensure that they know exactly where they are going once all of the other year groups return on Thursday.

Your child must be in full Bishopshalt School uniform.  They should bring their pencil case, mini whiteboard and a notepad, as well as a bottle of water. They should also bring with them their ‘Best of Me’ work, their English/Maths summer work and their orange transition booklet if this has not yet been returned. A free lunch will be provided in the school diner, however they may bring a packed lunch if they prefer.

The Year Ahead Meeting for Parents and Meet the Tutors

The Year Ahead Meeting will take place from 2.00 – 3.00pm on Wednesday 4th September. The event will be split into two sections; the first half will be a meeting for parents/carers in the Main Hall and is our final opportunity to share important information with you.

Following this presentation we invite you and your child to join us in the Mansion Gardens for light refreshments and the opportunity to meet other Year 7 pupils and their parents. The Form Tutors, our SENCO, other key members of the Year 7 team and pastoral support, will also be available, should you wish to speak with them.
