A Warm Welcome to Our Future Year 7 Students

Today we were delighted to welcome our new Year 7 cohort to All Saints Catholic College for their Induction Day. Miss Bradley, Head of Year 7, was joined by our Acting Headteacher, Mr Walton, and members of the Senior Leadership Team to greet the students and introduce them to life at secondary school. It was a fantastic day filled with excitement, as students met new friends and teachers, took part in activities, and began to get a real sense of what September will bring.

While teachers will guide students through their learning when they join us, we encourage them to explore what’s ahead over the summer. In English, students will study Greek myths and legends, creative writing, and explore themes of magic, witchcraft, Macbeth, and Harry Potter. Maths will focus on working with numbers, sequences, decimals, shapes, and financial maths. Science will cover particles and their behaviour, cells, and forces, while in Religious Education students will explore themes from creation to covenant, and prophecy and promise.

There is plenty to look forward to in Year 7, including Curriculum Enhancement Days, where students take part in termly educational trips to places like the Globe Theatre, museums, and places of worship. Rewards trips offer special outings for those who go above and beyond—recently including a visit to see Matilda in the West End. We also stage a school production each year, which gives students the chance to perform or support behind the scenes; this year’s Guys and Dolls was a huge success.

We look forward to welcoming our new Year 7s properly in September and watching them flourish as part of our school community. Until then, we wish all our incoming students a restful and happy summer.
