Our transition days are in full swing this week. Year 6 pupils have experienced what a day at John Taylor High School is like, ready for when they start in September. It is our aim that all students joining our school community feel confident about the changes and new routines they will experience.
All pupils are invited to attend one day of preparation to get to know the school, staff and their tutor and teaching group which is kicked off with a formal assembly and a warm welcome.
Once assembly had finished the pupils got straight to work with a busy timetable ahead of them in between their break and lunch periods. This year’s theme was ‘bodies’ which ran through each lesson:
In Science they learnt about Bone Density, Maths was all about body strength and mass, Modern Foreign Languages was learning the body parts in French and Design and Technology was all about movement.
We are really excited to welcome our new Year 7 cohort in September and hope the transition process has been as smooth as possible to ensure that the students feel safe, welcome, and supported.
The transition process also goes on beyond the start of the new school year, with Year 7 events such as Bonding Day and the Service of Welcome planned within the first half term. All transition activities are designed to ensure the students, parent/carers feel part of the John Taylor High School community.
