In August, we ran a Summer School for part of our new Year 7 cohort.
Following the events of the past year, Government guidelines outlined the need for particular support for pupils transitioning from Year 6 into Year 7. Our Summer School provided this support through offering a blend of academic education and enrichment activities.
Pupils were prepared for the secondary curriculum by taking part in a range of lessons from across a variety of curriculum areas.
Over the course of the week, pupils also experienced a number of enrichment activities, including, a walk through Duxbury Woods with a stop at Frederick’s Ice Cream Parlour and a trip to Hollywood Bowl. Also, a representative from the Helen O’Grady Drama Academy came to Holy Cross to run a theatre workshop, covering topics such as conflict resolution, emotional intelligence, communication and teamwork.
Summer School was a great success; it was wonderful to see pupils building a community with their peers, growing in confidence and becoming familiar with their new school environment ready for a positive start in September.
We look forward to Summer School 2022!
