Hi. Does anyone know what is usually arranged for year 7 induction at Ribston?
Thanks
My DD is Year 8 now but from what I remember:
There was an Induction Day in July and separately there was a barbecue where pupils and parents could meet each other (I think that was before the Induction Day). They also had second- hand uniform on sale there.
At the Induction Day they were told to do everything they would on a normal school day so for example if you'd bought a bus pass for the next school year you were allowed on the bus with it just for Induction Day (I guess the A Level students must have left by then).
There was also an Induction session for both pupils and parents where we were briefed on lots of things like mobile phone policy and homework, as well as their pastoral care, which they are big on. I can't remember when this was though.
I think that was it until the start of term where they started a day before the rest of the school (see my opening post)
