As you all know, you will be entering year 7 next term. Depending on
how you are feeling, I am here to answer any questions you may
have. Currently, I am in year 7 myself, along with a large group of
other pupils.
Finding your way around the Bewdley school is not as complex as you
may think. Therefore, you will find it is a lot easier to reach your lessons
than you anticipate. However, if you do struggle to find your classroom,
it should not become an issue as there are members of staff or other
pupils around to ask. You should not feel overwhelmed, nor worried
about being late to your first lessons, as the Teachers will understand.
There will also be a bell to tell you when you should arrive at you
classroom, students are given five minutes in-between lessons.
Bewdley has a very organised system, with the appropriate school rules.
A few being no chewing gum, be equipped with the correct and
acquired uniform and PE kit and to show kindness, responsibility and
respect towards other members of staff and students. Making friends at
Bewdley isn’t a difficult task as you sit in different places throughout
different lessons, giving you the opportunity to get to know your peers
(there are around 30 students in one class), alongside lunchtimes and
breaktimes to make new friends. There is also the opportunity to
experience different afterschool clubs such as drama clubs, art clubs or
sport clubs.
The school dinners vary from day to day, including gluten free meals,
and dinners for those with certain allergies. Students also have the
opportunity to buy their own food from a place known as “the Pod”.
This is where you are given the opportunity of a small budget to access
whatever food is available there. Just remember, it may be intimidating
at first and you may feel slightly worried about your first day. However,
before you know it, you’ll be watching other new year seven students
enter their first day at the Bewdley School.
