New Year 7s - all you need to know
Starting out at a new secondary school is one of the most exciting times of your life. There are so many new and exciting experiences awaiting you so we thought we would make it even easier by highlighting some of the main things you need to know.
So much going on
At Orchard School we have activities for everyone – sport, drama, music and a multitude of other things. We also go on exciting trips and put on all sorts of events. Click here to read about what goes on.
Induction days
At Orchard School we run induction days to provide all pupils with the opportunity to spend time in their new school. The aim of the day is to move around the school to help you familiarise yourself with the school building and surroundings, whilst providing you with an opportunity to meet new teachers and pupils from other primary schools. During the day you will attend lessons and experience the way we teach and learn at OSB. You will have an opportunity to meet your tutor group and get to know the pupils and your tutor… and you will receive a free hot meal!
WOW Transition days
