6.What happens if I get lost or I am late for lessons?

Don’t worry. We always say, you are not lost, you are just in the wrong part of the building! During the first week staff and transition mentors will be standing outside all of the rooms helping to direct you.

8.How much homework will I get?

For each subject you will receive one piece of homework each week, the homework will take you approximately 30 minutes to complete. You will be given a planner on your first day where you can record all your homework and the date on which it should be handed in.

Complete your homework the night you get it!

10.Can I bring my mobile phone into school?

Yes, but you must follow the mobile phone policy. Mobiles must be switched off before you enter school gates and only turned back on when you leave the school site.

11.Will I need my PE kit on the first day?

No, your first lesson of PE is a talk from the members of staff about expectations and extra-curricular activities.

12.What do I do if I lose something at school?

Your first place to check is your classrooms, if you still don’t have any luck go to pupil reception where lost property is taken. Tip – make sure you label all of your belongings.
