Year 8

Welcome from the Head of Year

We know you will be very excited about returning to school and catching up with friends you may not have seen for some time.   However, we must remember the key purpose of school is to ensure we reach our potential in our academic subjects and that we continually strive to be the best version of ourselves.

Our team will help you to develop and grow and we will show you care and respect but this also means at times that we need to have honest reflections and conversations with each other.   We need to be brave enough to accept when we could have done better and be willing to acknowledge and learn from our mistakes.

At North Chadderton we have an incredible community that we should enjoy being part of.   This year we would like you to think carefully about how you can contribute to our community and then act on these thoughts, gaining enjoyment from giving our time for others and to widen your skills, interests and leadership abilities.

At North Chadderton, we live by our values of “Be Kind, Work Hard, Make a Difference”.    We know that kindness, respect and empathy create a positive environment in which all feel valued.  By ensuring we collectively act on these values, students also develop important life skills including communication skills, emotional intelligence and compassion.

We also recognise that student wellbeing is a key aspect of success.  This is why we encourage open communication between school and home.  If you have any questions regarding your child’s progress or welfare, please contact their form tutor in the first instance.   We thank you for your continued support and look forward to an exciting, rewarding and productive year 8.
