Year 7 Induction

Year 7 join us for an additional day in September at the start of their first year at Ash Manor so they can experience life at secondary school without all the older students. This year, we welcomed Year 7 on Wednesday 2nd September and, with so many having attended our Summer School in August, students came in with confidence and made a great start in Ms Bailey’s welcome assembly.  

Students then spent the morning with their form tutors, having a tour of the school and learning how the canteen payment system works. They also got to know their new tutor group and were taught how to read their timetables. The rest of the day was spent in normal lessons, experiencing what learning at Ash Manor is all about.  

For the first two weeks at Ash Manor, Year 7 are collected from the playground and escorted to their lessons. This is so that they learn where each of their classrooms are and to hopefully avoid anyone getting lost. Additionally, for their first week, Year 7s are allowed out of lessons slightly early at lunch time, in order to get through the canteen. It is such an exciting experience, being able to select and buy what you want for lunch, that we allow the new students a bit of extra time to choose.  

Welcome to the Class of 2031!
