Y6-Y7 Transition Experience Video

Induction: The CSGS Summer School

The school offers a hugely successful three day summer school programme which help students with the transition between Year 6 and Year 7.  The summer school, which takes place towards the end of the summer break, is well attended and attendance is strongly recommended.  It has proved to be a positive way to introduce the students to learning at grammar school as well as develop early social bonds to support the Year 7 community.

Please note that the three day summer school replaces the traditional induction day at the end of the summer term, which no longer runs.

Each day will begin with a morning Assembly after which students will be grouped into class sizes of approximately 12-14.

Students will have 6 x 45 min class sessions per day (with the exception of the Pastoral sessions which will be a double period). There will be a 30 minute Break Time at 11:00 and a 30 minute Lunch Time at 13:05.

Class session topics available will include:

• Maths
• English
• Science
• Geography
• Product Design
• Mental Health

In addition, one day will include Pastoral sessions with the support of the Form Tutor team and an introduction to the Library facility.

PE and Dance will be offered each day and will include larger class sizes of around 20-22 students.
