TEACHERS !!!!!

In year 6 you will have been used to having a few teachers.

At Hinchingbrooke you will have to get used to quite a few more!

Most of you will have about 15 teachers or so teaching you at some point in the year. Different teachers teach different subjects. So, you will have a teacher for English, a teacher for History etc. Sometimes you may have more than one teacher attached to a subject.

One of the big differences in that you will need to move around the school to get to different classrooms. Each subject is taught it its own block of the school.

There are also: teaching assistants, caretakers, technicians, cover assistants, cleaners, dinner ladies and many more adults around school.

So many new faces can be quite worrying, which is why we give you some more familar faces to learn, such as your tutor, co-tutor and head of year.

The best advice I can give to any new students starting here is that first impressions count!

Good examples of creating positive first impressions are:

- saying hello, thank you and please.

- holding doors open for adults.

- wearing the correct uniform to lessons.

- remembering to obey the school rules about behaviour.

- smiling.

Remember just as you will be getting used to us in September, we will be doing the same, and getting used to you. So if you have any problems then speak to us and we will do our best to help.
