Summer School
2016
Monday 22nd August – Friday 26th August, 2016 – 9.30am-3pm.
‘Learning Together, Achieving Together’
What is Summer School?
Summer School lasts for 5 days during August. It is held at King Edward VII Academy and students spend time getting to know more about what it will be like joining Year 7 in September.
At Summer School you:
- Take part in practical and fun learning activities.
- Get prepared for Academy life.
- Meet students from other Primary Schools.
What will we do?
Summer School is NOT about an extra week of lessons! It is about meeting new friends, trying out new opportunities while learning, having fun and getting used to the Academy buildings.
Each day of the Summer School will have a different theme to enable you to learn a variety of skills required for all subjects.
At King Edward VII Academy we pay a great day of attention to our students living a healthy, active lifestyle and the importance of teams. Some of the key qualities that we promote are:
- Teamwork
- Cooperate
- Passion
- Commitment
- Creativity
- Risk Taking
- Determination
All of the students that have participated in the summer school commented that they had not only enjoyed themselves but felt much more comfortable about starting at the Academy because they had already spent a week here.
King Edward VII Academy Free Summer School 2016
King Edward VII Academy will be offering primary school students the chance to attend a free Summer School in August 2016.
The Summer School will take place on:-
Monday 22nd-Friday 26th August 2016, 9.30am-3pm
The aim is for students to have additional time to get used to their new Academy, have fun, prepare for the new term, as well as meet new students from other primary schools.
The Summer School will consist of fun activities each day based around a number of subjects that they will study in Year 7 and will include a day trip out of the Academy.
