Messages to Parents

We are approaching the end of half term 1 of the new academic year and I would like to say how proud I am of the start the Year 7 Cohort have made upon their return to school after their summer break. It has been an extremely positive first term and each student has settled in and have hit the ground running for the year ahead. In light of this, I am delighted to communicate with you just some of the anecdotal feedback received from staff, some of which include comments with regard to the level of maturity all students have displayed and their ability to take ownership in their transition from Primary to Secondary School. Additionally, how well-mannered, polite and confident they are; something which all students should be really proud of.

I have, over the last couple of weeks visited students in their lessons to look at their attitudes to learning and how well they are accessing the KS3 curriculum. I have been impressed with the levels of engagement, enthusiasm and their determination to be the best version of themselves. The message of adopting a growth mindset and showing resilience to overcome barriers students may face along their educational learning journey, has really hit home. As parents you should be very proud of the way students have adjusted to a new school site, new members of staff, new children and to the systems and routines we have in place at The Garibaldi School.

Achievement Lead: Miss J Humphries
