YEAR 7 LETTERS
-
I am writing to you about an exciting opportunity on offer to Year 7 students. The pastoral team are excited to announce that we are launching our residential rewards trip to Alton Towers Resort & Waterpark for Year 7 students. As a rewards trip, this is for students who are displaying excellent behaviour, attitude to learning and attendance. This will be an overnight trip from Thursday 26 June to Friday 27 June 2025. The total cost of this experience will be approximately £155.00 dependent on numbers. Once we have received permission slips and deposits, we will be able to confirm the final total cost per student.

We are writing to invite you to the Year 7 Parent/Student Consultation Evening which will be held in school on Tuesday 11 February 2025 from 3.45pm until 6.45pm. During this evening, you will have the opportunity to meet with a selection of your daughter’s subject teachers to discuss her work, attitude and progress.
As this is a subject specific consultation, Form Tutors will not be available for meetings on this evening's schedule. If you have a pastoral concern, please contact the school in the usual way and we will be happy to arrange a separate meeting.
-
We are excited to invite all students to attend our annual Careers Fair on Tuesday 21 January 2025 from 5.30pm to 7.30pm. This event is a fantastic opportunity for students to discover, explore and network with a wide range of professionals from different industries. Former students, employers and training providers will be on hand to offer insights into the world of work. Regardless of your daughter/son’s Year Group, it is a great way to explore career options and make valuable connections.

As we approach the end of this term, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on what has been an incredible start to Year 7 and to celebrate the achievements of our students. Transitioning to secondary school is a significant milestone and I am delighted to say that the students have embraced this change with enthusiasm, positivity and resilience.

I am writing to draw your attention to the upcoming Assessment Period for Year 7 from Wednesday 6 November to Friday 15 November 2024. As part of our monitoring and tracking, all students at Tolworth Girls’ School & Sixth Form (TGS) undergo two formal assessment periods each academic year. Our rationale for having assessment periods is to ensure that we are able to accurately assess our students and identify and address areas where knowledge and skills need strengthening. Additionally, this gives students practice in the lower school with revising and planning for assessments in both practical and academic subjects.

On Tuesday 19 November 2024, Tolworth Girls’ School & Sixth Form will have its first Whole School Curriculum Day (WSCD) for this academic year. Year 7 will be in school, but off-timetable, taking part in wider curriculum experiences led by the Modern Foreign Languages and Religious Studies Departments. Each department will be completing fun and active learning sessions throughout the day with the aim of enriching and supporting the learning of the Key Stage 3 curriculum content.

On Thursday 14 November 2024, Pari Thomson, the author of our Read-Up book, ‘Greenwild: The Magic Behind the Door’ is visiting Tolworth Girls’ School & Sixth Form. We are delighted to welcome Pari, and in celebration of her visit, Regency Bookshop is offering the hard back sequel ‘Greenwild: The City Beyond the Sea’, at a discounted rate of £10.19.
-
We would like to invite your daughter to our annual Year 7 Social which will take place on Thursday 24 October 2024 from 6.00pm to 7.15pm. We would love for everyone in Year 7 to participate in this social event, therefore we are providing a number of extra activities this year for those who would like to attend but perhaps do not wish to dance to music.
-
We hope that your daughter has already started to settle in well at Tolworth Girls’ School & Sixth Form and that they are enjoying secondary school life. We have been amazed by how well the Year Group have adapted to all the new systems and procedures and how quickly they seem to have become a part of our school family.

All students are able to book themselves a locker here at Tolworth Girls’ School & Sixth Form.
This is a great way to store books/folders/sportswear and anything else that does not need to be taken to class at one particular time.

I am sure that you and your daughter have been anticipating their first day of secondary school all summer, perhaps even before then. It is a monumental day, and one that we often remember our whole lives. It can be an emotional day, but a special one all the same, for yourselves as well as your daughter. The day is no less special for us at Tolworth Girls' School & Sixth Form (TGS). It is an honour and a privilege to welcome your daughter into our community and to support them in starting this journey.
