Year 8 Welcome

Welcome to Year 8, a very important year in your child’s school career. As well as settling further into school life they will begin to think about the subject they wish to study at Key Stage 4 and make important choices about their future. As their Director of Learning for Year 8, I will make sure that they, and you, feel fully informed and supported through the process. In return, all students will need to be prepared for the year, from the first day all the way through to the end of the school year.

Alternatively you can email Mr Tom Smee, Year 8 Director of Learning at t.smee@johnbright.uk

Attendance

The school has an attendance policy of 95% or above. All medical and dental appointments should be scheduled for outside of school hours. However, if your child is off school for any reason, please contact the attendance officer via the school reception at your earliest convenience and provide us with written evidence for the absence on your child’s return to school.
