It will be good to be able to meet, discuss and share important information about the wishes and aspirations of the parent group regarding the Y7/8 programme and the way in which the school can further develop a programme tailored to those aspirations.

i.e School Production Year, AIMS, Tech, Sport Academy, Uniforms, Trips and camps

It will also be a valuable opportunity to discuss the value-added to both the students and the school as a whole by retaining our year 7 and 8 students and the important leadership and developmental milestones that can be nurtured in a school where the children are well-known and where they will not be competing with huge numbers of children to access the resources and opportunities that our children are given.

Please feel free to come along and contribute.
