Welcome to Year 8

Head of Year 8: Lydia Abdalla

Following a successful year 7 transition, year 8 is a time for students to push forward and maximise on being more familiar with their surroundings. Students are encouraged to make the right choices and become more independent than in their first year of secondary school. 

We encourage our students to think about their future and what steps they need to take to create it. This is done through events such as ‘Work Shadow Day’ and ‘Careers inspiration Day’. These are excellent opportunities for the students to observe and develop important skills such as teamwork, resilience and tenacity.

Strong relationships are the foundation of our school. Whether this is between our staff and students or with parents. Good communication between all stakeholders is essential to ensure all our students are safe and happy.
