New Year 7 Induction

We are very much looking forward to welcoming you to the Blue School in September 2010 –263 students with more enquires still being received.    
It is very important for our new students to look forward to being a part of The Blue school community. We have therefore devised a transition programme that involves the following:  

• In April parents of all Y7 students who have been offered a place receive a letter outlining the transition process.
• From May Miss Bridget Cox, Head of Year 7 and where appropriate Mrs Karen Mellish, the SENCo undertake a range of visits to the primary schools to introduce themselves and to meet the students.
• The KS3 Welcome Booklet will be published on 25 June. This booklet contains all the vital information to prepare yourself and your child for September.
• An Induction Day will be held on 30 June 2010. During this day your child will have the opportunity to experience a range of taster sessions and will meet their Tutor.
• An Information Evening will be held on 30 June at 7.00pm in Kennion Hall where a presentation will be given by the Headteacher, Steve Jackson. You will have the opportunity to ask questions as well as order your child’s first Smartcard for use in our food outlets. We will also ask you to sign the Permissions Requests form (for use of student images, ICT facilities and services and participation in routine off-site activities) during this meeting.
