A Warm Welcome for new KS3 Pupils

Mr Hughes Head of KS3 at Melland who would like to thank the dedicated KS3 form tutors for making the transition to high school as smooth as possible while keeping parents and carers updated on the progress of all the new students as they settle into their new routines.

The tutors welcomed their new year 7 students with lots of exciting and informative lessons,

Mr Hughes states that, “We have had nerves and excitement but overall because of the highly successful and personalised transition programme everyone has settled in extremely well and we are delighted with the new cohort as they have all shown great maturity and integrity.”

As part of the introductory sessions, with excitement akin to the Harry Potter ‘Sorting Hat’ scenes, all year 7’s were allocated a House in the very first KS3 assembly since before the pandemic. New students were introduced to the KS3 community and given house badges. They were also given the opportunity to gain some early house points with fun games and activities.
