Our Year 7 pupils showed fantastic engagement throughout our enrichment day, embracing the opportunity to learn more about their school and the wider local community. During the morning, pupils took part in a range of belonging and map-based activities, designed to support their transition to secondary school, exploring the local area and considering how our TURVES values can help them make a positive contribution both within school and beyond. Pupils worked enthusiastically together, demonstrating self-motivation, teamwork and a growing sense of belonging to TGBS.
During the local geography fieldwork, Year 7 represented the school brilliantly. Their behaviour, manners and attitude while working in the local community were excellent, and they should be proud of the way they represented TGBS. Pupils then had the opportunity to experience a range of extra-curricular taster sessions, where they enthusiastically got involved, tried new activities and discovered some of the wider opportunities available to them at secondary school.
It was a really positive day that allowed pupils to build confidence, strengthen relationships and develop their sense of belonging. Most importantly, Year 7 demonstrated what it means to put the TURVES values into action, both in school and within their local community.
