Hello Year six!
My name is Mrs Allford and I am the Headteacher at Ivanhoe College. I am really
excited that you have a place in our Year 7 for August 2022 and I can’t wait to welcome
you into our school for the Induction days in July.
During the two days you will be able to meet your form tutor and start to get to know
your tutor group who will be joining from a number of primary schools. You will have the
opportunity to discover all that the Ivanhoe College has to offer – don’t worry it’s not as
big as you might think! You will meet students who already attend Ivanhoe who will help
you throughout the days and you’ll have the chance to sample our school lunches too!
We aim to show you a 'taste' of a range of lessons over the two days. You will meet your
subject teachers and other staff who will help you to feel even more settled and look
forward to the new academic year. There will also be an opportunity for your parents and
carers to come into school and meet your new form teacher.
Over the following weeks, as part of your transition from primary to secondary school,
we would like you to complete this booklet. It is full of information and activities to help
you prepare for Year 7. We’ll be sharing tips with your families so that they can help you
to work through the booklet at your own pace. You have plenty of time to read each
page carefully, please don’t rush through the activities. We will also be uploading our Y6
transition page on www.ivanhoe.co.uk with information, videos and helpful hints as we
near the end of the summer term – keep checking it for new details!
I am really looking forward to meeting you in person on Wednesday 29 June and
Thursday 30 June 2022. Remember to keep your completed booklet safe as you will need
this during the Induction days at Ivanhoe.
With best wishes,
Mrs Allford
Headteacher - Ivanhoe College
