Introduction

Dear Parent We hope this booklet will provide you with guidance on the curriculum your daughter will be studying throughout Year 7.

Your daughter will have 25 lessons a week plus three mentor sessions, a whole school assembly and an academic mentor session. We hope you will benefit from an overview of the topics taught in each area of the curriculum, and a list of equipment, useful websites and key words. In addition, inside is our homework policy and assessment information. The purpose of this is to indicate our expectations in Year 7, which will enable you to support your daughter more efficiently.

During Year 7, you will be invited to an information evening, where you will have the opportunity to meet your daughter’s mentor, receive two interim reports, a full written report and be invited to a Year 7 Parents’ Evening. Of course, if necessary, you can also contact subject teachers or your daughter’s mentor directly.

We expect your daughter to find her school day varied and engaging. As well as developing her academic potential, we strive to ensure our

students foster an interest in lifelong learning. Teaching staff and mentors encourage our students to become:-

• Successful learners, who enjoy • •

learning, making progress and seeing achievement.

Confident individuals who are able to live safe, healthy and fulfilling lives.

Responsible citizens who make a positive contribution to society.

We are keen to collaborate with you on your daughter’s journey. This booklet is one way to inform you of her curriculum. However, your daughter’s mentor and individual subject teachers will have a more personal understanding of your daughter’s strengths and challenges or any areas in need of development.

In the final section of this booklet there is guidance on ensuring a successful start to the school day and information on protecting your daughter’s emotional well-being.

This booklet is a trial, therefore we would appreciate your feedback on its clarity and usefulness, along with any suggested additions.

Welcome to Beaulieu Convent School, we look forward to getting to know your daughter.

Mrs Heaven and Mrs Whitehead
