Year 7
Welcome to the family and foundation of your future that is The Coopers’ Company and Coborn School.
Mr J. Woodward, Head of Yr7
This year is an integration into the specialised subjects of teaching and learning together with the principles and traditions of the school. These will include the following:
- Essentially the school’s academic record begins with a diverse curriculum within government policies to provide teaching and learning foundations. Supporting all of this is a framework of teachers, pastoral support and mentoring from trained sixth formers and professional staff.
- Bonding early is important and involves a two and half day trip to Bowles in Kent with exciting opportunities. These include raft building, climbing, a dry ski slope, drama, singing and art creations. Further one day trips are organised throughout the year by various subject departments.
- Students are encouraged to participate in many of the extra-curricular clubs and activities from drama, music and art. In sport, opportunities exist for teams and individuals to gain recognition at county, national, and international level. The music department have numerous concerts where students perform in the choir, wind band, jazz band and school orchestra.
- Students participate in the travel plan by joining Bikeability and attending various days to gain achievements.
