The Grange School Year 7 Starters 2023

We're getting close to the end of our Christmas Reads Advent Calendar! Behind door number 20 is "Can Reindeer Fly?" by Roger Highfield https://ow.ly/ph5j50QkgyW

The Year 7's have completed a full term and we will now close this page 😢

We will no longer be active on this page as we will be getting ready for our new intake of parents/carers (yes... already!).

Thank you to all our Year 7 Parents/Carers for your support with your children in starting their new secondary schools and your engagement on this page. This is something new we have trialled this year throughout the transition process, so please feel free to comment with your feedback below 👇

Please make sure to follow us on The Grange School's page and Instagram Page. We are also active on Twitter to keep up to date with the daily life of our students, parents and staff.

We wish you all a very Merry Christmas 🎅

See you on 4th January 2024 🌟

🥐 Another Fabulous Reward Breakfast Morning 🥐

On Friday 15th Dec 2023, over 200 students from Years 7-11 joined us for Breakfast as a reward for their efforts and achievements this term. The top 5 students by conduct points received this special invitation.

The students enjoyed the food, played games with their friends, all topped off with an impromptu festive sing-a-long 🎵

Well done to you all 👏
