Karen Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Last year it was a full day with start time around 9- 9.30. Parents had a talk and students joined academic classes for the day. Parents were free to go about 11am with a chance for parents only to revisit the boarding house if desired. Parents returned for tea/coffee at about 3pm and staff were on hand to answer questions - very helpful as things had occurred to us during the day. Students finished the day (which dd thoroughly enjoyed) at about 3.30pm. We then did a dash to the uniform shop to get fitted! Hope you have a good day!

dancer27 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 is this day for those starting in sixth form too or just for year 7s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angel Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Sorry...no idea but if you phone school they will tell you...they just don't seem to send out letters very quickly. Mind you, neither do any of the other schools to my knowlegde! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2dancersmum Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Unless it has been changed this year the induction day is not for 6th form. Dancer27 you will get a handbook and a letter in the summer (early July?) which gives you plenty of information and a letter at the same time telling you what to wear/bring with you and what time to arrive on your first day.

All4dancers Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I wonder about the new year 9s. Â I seem to remember the house staff saying that they like to have them at the boarding house for lunch in July so that they can get to know them a little before they start and decide which dorm they would be best in, but I don't know if they visit the school as well. Â Does anyone else know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Don't know about lunch in July, but I think there were older students than yr 7 at last year's induction (not post 16s) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancingmad Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Hi I am a newcomer, All4dancers I too have a dd starting in sept and I also remember them saying about the year 9's visiting the boarding house for the staff to get to know their personalities and they would have some of the girls there too? Induction day is definitely June 26th as I phoned last week to ask, maybe they will visit both on this day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All4dancers Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Hello Dancingmad and welcome!  Thank you for the info about induction day, it means now I can start sorting time off work out for definite.  It appears that there are at  least 4 new girls starting in September and at least one boy that I know of! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancingmad Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Hi All4dancers, yes there are definitely a number of year 9's starting my dd is in touch on facebook with a couple of them.

Karen Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 My dd has just called to say that she has been asked to model the school uniform for the yr 7s at some point today; she is taking it to school in her bag as she is dancing most of the day, so it maybe rather creased!! Hope all new students have a great day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
