Work

In the 1st Year you will study lots of subjects - some of which will be new to you. You will have a certain number of lessons in each subject each week making a total of 45 lessons. Your timetable will be explained to you on your first day. As your lessons will take place in lots of different rooms round the school, your 'shadow' will help you to find your way round. In fact, everyone in the school will be very helpful, after all they were all new girls once! You'll find that the First Year Handbook will also be very useful as it contains a plan of the school and tells you where all the classrooms are.

The subjects you will study are: English, Maths, Science, French, Geography, History, Religious Studies, ICT and Keyboarding, Art, Drama, Music and Textiles. Every week you will also have one Tutor Period when your Form Tutor takes the lesson, and one lesson of Personal and Social Education which is taught by your Housemistress. If you would like to read more about any of these subjects, then you need to go to the Subject Pages.

You will be given Prep (homework) for each of your subjects at least once a week. If you do particularly well you may receive a commendation.
