INDUCTION BOOKLET




A warm welcome to all our new families starting RGS Surrey Hills in September!
This Induction Pack will give you a flavour of the range of activities that you will enjoy and can be a part of during your journey through RGS Surrey Hills.
As you may know, there is an Induction Day for new pupils on Thursday 4th September and we will write with more details in due course. The first day of term for the whole school will then be on Friday 5th September - this will be the first opportunity for the school to be together as a whole after the summer break.
We hope you have an enjoyable (and hopefully sunny!) summer. We will be sending you content throughout the holidays. RGS Surrey Hills really looks forward to meeting you in September.
