All new parents and carers are reminded of our Year 7 Welcome evening, next Thursday 24th September, at 6pm. Starting secondary school is an exciting milestone, and this evening is a wonderful opportunity for us to welcome you to the Churchmead Community and begin building a strong partnership to support your child's success. During the evening we will share important information about Year 7, including our standards, expectations and key dates for the year ahead. We will also provide practical advice and helpful tips on how you can support your child both academically and personally as they settle into life at Churchmead. Following the presentation you will have the opportunity to meet your child's form Tutor if you have any further questions. They will be your first point of contact throughout the year. We strongly encourage all parents/carers to attend, as the information shared will be invaluable in helping your child make a positive and successful start to Year 7. All Year 7 students are expected to attend in school uniform. We look forward to meeting you and your child and beginning this exciting journey together. By working in partnership, we can help ensure your child enjoys a happy, successful and rewarding first year at Churchmead.
