Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knew how many classes they'll have for year 7? I don't think the commute to sports will be a problem. Many schools seem to fit it around the timetable with commute etc. Just wondering if they'll have a school bus.

I believe 2/3 classes. And I think they will have a school bus.

the facilities and teaching staff seem to be excellent. My son will be starting in September. I was away abroad so didn’t get a chance to attend the offer holders event. Did I miss anything as such?

My son will be starting in September. The line up of teachers seems very impressive. The assessment's process was an online test and then if they pass that, they invite them back for the written maths and English paper and then an interview with the headteacher. Have you applied?

check their LinkedIn for news about their staff.
woodlane is far, 15 mins drive. But I guess they will have school busses to drive them.

I went to the offer holders event lasts week. They introduced everyone they have hired so far.

Thanks for the info! Yes I believed there will be coach, re school bus for school runs I am not sure that's what they are planning. I am looking forward to see any samples time tables and how they manage to fit sports and clubs on a daily routine, though my DD is not a very sporty type, so she might finds it more difficult to cope with the distance for sports. On the other hand very excited about the new facilities. Love to hear more first hand news here!

I am planning to send my daughter there to start year 7.

the teachers lined up, all have amazing experiences.

Any idea where we can see who the teachers are?

Hello good to see this thread! Have you both put down deposit already? Are you guys sitting on other offers? Please share some pros and cons... to me is the sports place a bit far away, also school bus?
