Regents Review Summer 21-22

The Regents Review Summer 2022

GENERAL NEWS

Transition Day At the start of July we held our Year 6 Parents’ Evening and Transition Day. For the evening, parents and their children were invited to meet key staff, including the Headteacher and Head of Year. It was Spencer, our therapy dog that stole the show when he woofed a warning to Mrs Barnes that she needed to wrap up her welcome speech! Other highlights including a Year 7 who played the piano to accompany parents’ arrival, the student poets and the traditional Year 7 uniform fashion show. Student leaders from all year groups closed the event with a parade to represent the range of leadership opportunities available at the school. Transition Day followed and students were met again by their Head of Year and also their Head of Year Support. Year 9 student ambassadors supported each group and kicked off the day with a school tour. Year 6s then completed a range of taster lessons, themed around the school’s ethos of respect, pride, creativity and challenge. This included experiments in science, PE team-building activities and butterfly designs in art. The art work from the day will be collated into one massive collage to go on display in the hall for Year 6s to see on their first day in September. As recognition that they had successfully transitioned into Regents Park students and embraced the school’s ethos, certificates were awarded to all students. Year 6s had a fabulous day learning new skills, exploring their new school and most importantly making new friends.
