Highlights of Year 7: Year 7 is a busy and exciting year. As part of our transition programme we hope to be able to visit local post-primary schools where we take part in their lesson sampling activities. We welcome visitors from local post-primary schools to talk to our pupils and answer questions. During the summer term the pupils are engaged in a variety of lessons and activities to help them to prepare for moving to their new school in September.

ICT plays a very important part in the teaching and learning throughout Year 7. We teach the children how to use technology safely, respectfully and responsibly.

We hope you find Year 7 to be a fun filled and action packed experience.
