When are the new student induction days?
Monday 3rd & Tuesday 4th July. Your child will be invited to Cleeve School for two days to join our current Year 7 students. They will have an opportunity to meet other students within their Tutor Group and College, and to experience some lessons within core departments. Students should arrive at the main entrance at Cleeve School at 9.00am on Monday 3rd July. The day will end at 2.45pm. We ask that all students make their own transport arrangements to and from school. Students should wear their primary school uniform and bring a packed lunch and drink with them. Students should also wear trainers/sports footwear on both days.
When is the Parents Information Evening?
All new parents are invited to join us at the Information Evening on Monday 3rd July from 5.00-7.00pm where you will be able to attend a presentation with our Head of School (KS3) and the Year 7 Team. You will also have the opportunity to meet some of the Year 7 Tutors, Pastoral Team and other Year 7 parents/guardians. Please note this event is split into two sessions according to your child's College as follows:
Attenborough & Holmes: 5.00-5.45pm
Nightingale, Rowling & Shackleton: 6.15-7.00pm
What date will my child start at Cleeve School?
Our Year 7 students will join us on Wednesday 6th September. The first few days of school are attended by only our Year 7 and Year 12 students. This helps our new students have time to orientate the school site before the other students return later in the week. We look forward to seeing you in September.
