YEAR 6 transition day 2011
Friday 1st July:
Robert Clack School was very pleased to welcome over 300 pupils from a variety of local junior schools today.
The Induction Day was planned to help the new Year 7 get experience of their new secondary school in readiness for September 2010.
Acting Head of the Learning Community – Year 7, Miss Davies, met the pupils in an assembly where Mr Micek, Deputy Headteacher set the year some challenges for September.
These challenges included:
-
Being the best ever year group for becoming involved in clubs and activities
-
Achieving the best attendance and examination results of any Year group before them
-
Continuing to maintain the excellent reputation our school has locally, nationally and internationally
-
Finally, for receiving the highest number of certificates and positive referrals of any year group
After the assembly pupils had the opportunity to participate in lessons in a wide range of subjects including Humanities, Technology, ICT, Art, PE, English, Math’s, Modern Foreign Languages and Science.
Some of the new students commented on the things they were looking forward to:
Miss Davies “I’m really looking forward to welcoming the new pupils to Robert Clack in September. After such a successful Year 6 day I have no doubts that the year group is going to maintain and enhance the school’s excellent reputation. I must also thank all the parents who attended the Year 6 night and who have been so supportive over the last few weeks. I look forward to seeing you all at our first parents’ evening in the first term, and to working with you over the next few years”.

Care, guidance and support are outstanding. Students are positive about the effective pastoral system that contributes to the 'family-like' community in the school. Students feel safe in school, supported by the high levels of supervision throughout the day. There are outstanding links with local authority and other external agencies so that vulnerable students including looked after children are well cared for. Careers advice and support are excellent and ensure that students are well informed about the options available to them for the next stage of education and working life. Systematic whole-school procedures rigorously check on students' academic progress. Day-to-day guidance to students on how to improve their performance is very effective.
