Year 8

Welcome to Year 8.
  

During Year 8 pupils are expected to adopt a more mature approach to school life and become more responsible. In addition they are expected to contribute to the community of the school and as a reward they are given more responsibility.

Throughout the year there are also a number of fantastic opportunities to get fully involved in school life, helping students to make positive choices in all aspects of their lives. Pupils are given the opportunity to get involved in inter-form competitions, raise money for charity, to be part of the most enterprising form in the year and much more. As part of their commitment to Citizenship, all Y8 pupils are involved in raising money for a national charity.

Pupils in year 8 are regularly rewarded for good effort and hard work as well as having good attendance and being punctual. There are a variety of prize draws and rewards trips for pupils who take a consistently positive approach to school life.

At the end of the year, pupils can look back on all they've achieved and begin to start planning for Year 9, the year in which they can start thinking about choosing their options!
