Year 7

Hello future Coopers’ Coborn students. I am delighted to be able to welcome you to our school community and the Coopers’ Coborn family.

My name Is Mr Dudley-Hart and I am Assistant Headteacher in charge of Key Stage 3, so it is my job to oversee the wellbeing of all students in their first three years here. Unfortunately,  I am not yet able to meet you all due to the restrictions in place to fight the coronavirus. As you know the current restrictions on schools have caused a lot of changes to our daily lives and will affect how you get to know your new school, teachers and classmates in the coming months. Normally we would welcome you to visit the school and get to know the people and places which will play an important part in your lives for the next 7 years. As this will not be possible before the Summer holidays, I will use this part of the webpage to present some online material to help you get to know our school and help us to get to know you too. Hopefully the links and resources below will give you a flavour of what life is like at Coopers’ Coborn and help you to understand what we mean by Love as Brethren. I will add to this page regularly so please check back for updates.

Virtual Transition

The form tutor plays an important role in helping students to settle in at Coopers’ Coborn. They are the one member of staff students see every morning and play an important role in the pastoral care of their tutees. Every year we run a Meet the Tutor which gives the opportunity parents and students to meet their form tutor in an online appointment.

Parents would usually be invited to a talk in the theatre to hear some welcome messages from key members of staff. This part of the meet the tutor event will now also be online. These messages from Ms Hay, Myself, Miss Gibson, and our school captains will be available to view on our YouTube channel from June 24th on this playlist.

though bear with us as, we may take a little while to reply.

Transition Booklet and Transition Tasks

The transition booklet has been written to convey some key information about the school, introduce you to key staff and policies. It also includes 6 transition tasks which we expect all students to complete in time for the start of school in September. We send all new students a paper copy of the booklet, but a .pdf copy can be downloaded here.

YouTube Channel

We have a YouTube channel called “Coopers’ Coborn School Transition Channel”

This contains videos and playlists to help familiarise students with the school, answer any questions they may have about starting school in September. Videos include, virtual tours of the school, introductions to subject departments and key school staff. We will be adding new content throughout the summer term so please check back regularly and ask your parents to subscribe to the channel. YouTube does not allow children under 13 to sign up but you can view the videos without signing in by clicking the links below or searching for Coopers Coborn School Transition Channel.

About me booklet

Be Awesome Go Big

Matthew Syed (author of You Are Awesome) and Matthew Burton (author of Go Big: The secondary school survival guide) have teamed up with publisher Hachette to produce a series of resources to support students getting ready to join secondary school. There is a series of PowerPoints, videos and a workbook for students and support resources for parents on the Hachette website (see links below) We will mail out a paper copy of the workbook but an editable word version is also available online. Completing these resources may be beneficial but is optional and you will not be required to submit this work. We also really like the books by Matthew Burton and Matthew Syed which are both aimed at children.
