Year 6 Taster Day

On Friday 16 September, our Year 6 classes spent the day in the Senior School, trying out life as Year 7 pupils.

They joined us in time for a noisy and fun House Assembly, led by the Sixth Form House Captains, where the true competitive spirit of the house system was in full swing. Then it was off to lessons in Physics, Chemistry, Music, English and DT before lunch.

After lunch, the group spent time with members of our Lower Sixth, who had devised a quiz for the occasion and the girls also received a surprise visit from Ms Davies.  Ms Davies answered questions ranging from What is it like to be Head of Croydon High? (“ wonderful so far” ) and “ Who is your favourite teacher at Croydon High? ( diplomatically avoided!) to What is your favourite subject? (Music of course!).

Afternoon lessons included Enterprise Technology, Art and Religion, Ethics and Philosophy. By the end of the day, the girls were starting to tire a little as they realised what a big site the Senior School is! However, they remained enthusiastic and appreciative throughout and were a pleasure to have in the school.

We look forward to seeing more of them over the coming weeks and months as they embark on their exciting journey to Senior School. Thank you to all the teaching staff and our magnificent Sixth Formers for all their help in organising the day.
