A very warm welcome to Derby Grammar School’s Year 7 Induction webpage!
We know it is a very important time for you as you prepare to move up to Senior School. We are making it our priority to ensure you settle quickly and feel happy in school.
Mrs Charnock and her team have been working very hard on a virtual induction day for you. Below you will find lots of information to help you with your move to Senior School.
Have a look at the welcome videos from Dr Norris and Mrs Charnock. We’ve included an introductory video from the Year 7 tutors as well.
Normally, you’d be joining us in School on Induction Day and taking part in some fun lessons. We don’t want you to miss out and so some of our teachers have come up with some exciting lessons for you to do from home or in your classroom. Do you think you can bring in your work when we meet in September? We’d love to see what you did.
You’ll also find an FAQ booklet written with the help of our current Year 7 boys. Don’t worry if you still have some questions, you can contact us and we will answer them for you. Remember, no question is ever too silly for us to answer!
We hope you enjoy the information we have provided for you. We can’t wait to see you in September.
