Year 7 Intake September 2020

Information for prospective Year 7 pupils and their parents

By now you will have received your letter offering you a place at the school and you should have confirmed your place.   Usually we write to parents to inform them of the next stage, which is an induction day in July and a Saturday morning session where children take Cognitive ability tests allowing us to place them appropriately for the September start. 

It is unlikely given the COVID-19 situation that these two events will go ahead, although circumstances may change.   Most probably, grouping children into form classes and putting in place baseline assessments will not take place before September.  We will keep you informed as the situation becomes clearer.
