A look back at Summer School 2021

Summer School 2021 was a fantastic success this year. We welcomed 136 of our Year 7 cohort so many of our students who were joining us in September. Each day was jam packed ed with fun engaging activities that enabled students to learn new things as well as become familiar with their new surrounding and make new friends. It was a pleasure to welcome you into our Broughton Hall Family.

Creativity has been at the heart of the activities as well as wellbeing and making new friendships. The Broughton Hall Sixth formers have been exemplary role models for our new Year 7 students. They were a constant presence not just in taking students to lessons, staying with them and supporting them in their activities.

Theme of our Summer School was SPACE

Monday: Space -Outer Space and beyond

Tuesday: Environment -Our Space, Our world

Wednesday: Well-being-My Space, My headspace

Thursday: Space-To infinity and Beyond!

New Year 7 students said:

I liked a lot but my favourite is probably Art

I loved everything about it! I can't wait for September!

Meeting new people and seeing the school and how the classrooms would look and seeing the teachers.

My daughter really gained a lot from Summer School. Her fears of getting lost and making friends were gone by day 1! She enjoyed all of the activities especially making her dream catcher, literacy and Spanish sessions. We can now spend summer without any worries about September and focus on a brand new start.
