You will also spend the day in your new form and you will have the opportunity to see the school at work and take part in some lessons. Please bring writing equipment and a notebook for this visit. You will get a letter explaining all this after Easter.

Intake Evening

You and your parents will also be invited to visit your new school on Intake Evening, Wednesday 27th June 2011. They will have the chance to meet your tutor and members of the house team and find out more about starting at Tytherington.

The first days

Finding your way around the school and learning its routines will be one of your main tasks during the first few days.
On the first day of school only Year 7, 12 & 13 will be in school. You will spend the first day in your tutor group taking part in activities to get to know the school and each other better.
During the first week, you will be escorted by older pupils to your lessons and there will be extra people around at break, lunch times and after school for the first week or so to help all Year 7 children during this settling in period.

You will also receive a welcome booklet which has all the answers to they key questions you may have and map of the school to help you find you way around.
