Year 7 Parent Information

At Woolmer Hill School, we believe that success comes from engaging with learning and making the most of the opportunities available to all our students. The outcome of the next five years at Woolmer Hill School will really shape your child’s future and we are committed to providing a high standard of education allowing our students to not only reach but exceed their ambitions.

We also believe that success comes by working in partnership with students and parents through forming mutually supportive relationships, ensuring each and every student understands what they can achieve and how they can take an active role in developing their skills and knowledge.

The resources provided below will give an overview of Year 7, including our Year 7 curriculum, and how as a parent you can continue to support your child during this big change from primary school to secondary school. Students will be supported in taking on more responsibility, becoming more resilient and becoming independent learners.

I do hope you find the information useful and informative. Please do not hesitate to contact the school if there is anything else we can do to help make sure your child makes the most of their time with us over the next five years.

Mr S Watkins, Head of Year 7
