Primary - Year Seven
Curriculum & Year Group Overview 2022-23
Principal's Welcome
The most important thing is that after the long summer holiday your children get back into routine and are excited and happy in their new class. New topics will be introduced and our homework of reading, mental maths and short tasks will begin in the 2nd week. We are always approachable and we will have our first parents' meetings at the end of September. However, if anything crops up before this please let us know. We are all looking forward to an exciting year ahead, especially with the addition of lots of new staff and some fantastic additions to our facilities.
