Introductory Booklet for Parents

Mr Adam Thorne Headteacher

Dear Parents and Carers,

It is with great pleasure that I commend this introductory booklet. The enclosed information will help ensure a successful transition into Year 7 as you start your exciting journey at Davenant. I know the past three to four years have been both unusual and challenging, but please rest assured we have a full integration programme planned which includes a review of where the Year 7’s find themselves academically and emotionally. Students will have the opportunity to experience the full transition experience we normally offer as we seek to nurture their mind, body and spirit.

We look forward to many years of working with you in partnership, helping your child succeed and enjoying everything school life has to offer. We have high expectations at Davenant and we want every child to succeed and achieve their full potential. The opportunities to develop academically, physically, socially and spiritually are what make our school an exciting and challenging learning environment. When schools and parents work together, supporting and guiding, a child will achieve and enjoy personal excellence.

The staff at Davenant welcome you and your child and look forward to a successful partnership over the coming years as our country returns to a new normal.

Yours sincerely,

Adam Thorne Head Teacher
