Welcome to Year 8
Dear Parents and Carers
I feel privileged to be able to remain as your daughter’s Head of Year along with a number of the superb form tutors who have moved up with the year group and some new joining us. We will continue to work together to support your daughter through the next stage of her Presdales journey.
Below is the list of the Year 8 Form Tutors and their contact information: 8EW Curie – Mrs E Willett (Mon, Wed, Thurs) – ewillett@presdales.herts.sch.uk & Mr R Woollams (Tues, Fri) – rwoollams@presdales.herts.sch.uk It is the role of the Year 8 pastoral team to support Year 8 students in order that they progress and achieve their full potential across the curriculum. We expect Year 8 students to play a very positive and active part in the school community and for them to continue to try their very best with both academic studies and in extra-curricular activities. Each year group has a school value to focus on and in Year 8, this will be creativity. I’m looking forward to seeing our Year 8 students in action, following this theme. There will be house events and year group challenges for the Year 8 students to get involved in throughout the year. Each form will also be creating and delivering assemblies to the rest of the year group on important themes. I was extremely proud of our year group last year. The way they adapted to secondary school life. Every one of them demonstrated resilience and maturity despite their young age. This year, I hope that our Year 8s make the most of the opportunities that we can offer them, whether that is sports, music, languages, or many others. Please check out our club timetable for the full selection! Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns relating to your daughter’s school life.
