Year 7 Transition Summer Camp This week saw our first ever full transition week for the incoming Year 7s. The purpose of this week was for students to make friends and get acquainted with the school and for us to give them a few foundations of what to expect in September - watching the children over the past five days I am confident we have achieved what we set out to. Huge thanks to parents for bringing their children every day - especially those parents of our incoming boarders who have travelled several hundred miles this week. Even bigger thanks to the staff who volunteered to run a mix of fun academic and team building sessions. The children have enjoyed acting out Shakespeare scenes, solving crimes with Maths puzzles, building catapults, making towers to withstand an earthquake, art and pond dipping to name a few activities. They have travelled offsite for Liquid Leisure and bowling and have even made their own lunches! A short survey will be coming out later and your feedback would be hugely appreciated. Mrs Stokes (Editor’s note: this week would not have happened without the huge amount of work that Mrs Stokes put in to organising it so the biggest thanks go to her!).
