Your daughter has now completed her first year of secondary school and has entered Year 8; a crucial and formative stage in her development.

Year 8 is a time of growth when pupils begin to mature into young adults and establish habits and behaviours that can significantly influence their future success. It is both an exciting and challenging year, where increased independence must be balanced with responsibility.

We are committed to giving your daughter every opportunity to thrive; academically, socially and personally. This booklet has been created to provide you with key information that we hope you’ll find helpful in supporting the work we do in school. Please keep it in a safe place for future reference.

Throughout the year, your daughter will encounter a wide range of opportunities to learn, grow and develop new skills. With your encouragement and our guidance, we aim to help her make the most of these experiences and continue on her journey towards becoming a confident, happy and successful young woman.
