  4. Early Start – the details We have arranged with our Cluster primary schools for students who will attend Brannel to start with us on 14 July They will spend the last 8 days of term with us until we break up on 23 July. We hope that this will ease any anxieties about starting at secondary school and give the students a flying start. Because some students are coming from outside of the Cluster schools, we recognise that this might not be possible for everyone.
  5. Early Start - Activities Normal lessons – they will receive their timetables and will go to most of their lessons Admin – pictures for proximity cards, e-safety, network logons, emails. Get to know you activities – both for staff and for the site Tutor group activities – each student will be in a tutor group with other students and will have the opportunity to get to know them. House activities – we are planning to hold some fun events during those days so that students become involved in their House teams.
  6. Early Start – School Buses If they are eligible, students will travel to and from school on the school buses. Passes will be issued by Cornwall Council before the end of June. Concerns about passes and routes should be addressed to Cornwall Council. Brannel staff will travel with students during the first two days of the transition to assist with any concerns.
  7. School Buses - Safety We expect the same standards of behaviour from our students on the buses as we do in school and out of school. Buses are met by senior staff in the mornings and are also checked in the afternoons. Students who mis-behave or who cause disruption on the buses will receive written warnings and will face a ban if repeated three times. We encourage students to report issues to Mr Lane as soon as possible.
  8. Curriculum – What do Year 7 students study? We have a two week timetable with four 75 minute lessons per day. Students study: Maths, English (7 periods) Science (6 periods) PE (3 periods) Morals and Ethics (1 period) Spanish (4 periods) Art, Design and Technology (4 periods) Opening Minds (8 periods until December) Geography, History, Drama, Music and Computing begin after Christmas

  11. Attendance Missing school = missing out Government guidance restricts the ability of the school to authorise absence except in exceptional circumstances. Please do not book holidays during term time, we will not be able to authorise them If your child is ill, please call and inform the school. We use a ‘truancy call’ system to notify you if your child is absent. Please let us know by phone or in writing if your child has a medical appointment. We ask that you try to avoid these during school time but, when unavoidable, that your child is at school for the remainder of the day.
