Summer School for Year 6 pupils Principal: Mrs Samantha Broome

Dear Parents and Carers,

I hope this letter finds you safe and well.

Here at Ossett we are excited to announce our plans for Summer School 2021 and invite as many Year 6 pupils as possible to sign up!

Summer school will take place during the week commencing Monday 9 August 2021 and will run all week with the last day being Friday 13 August. Each day will run from 8.30am until 2:45pm.

All pupils accessing the summer school will be provided with a breakfast on arrival and lunch free of charge. Pupils will not be expected to wear uniform however do need to be wearing sensible active wear and sensible flat shoes.

During our summer school your child will get the opportunity to get to know the Academy, meet our staff and make friends with other Year 6 pupils that they will be in classes with from September. Your child will also benefit from being taught in workshops by our specialist teachers, enabling them to catch up with any knowledge they may have missed during Year 5 and Year 6 due to being in and out of multiple lockdowns and school closures.

Summer school is not just school in the summer. All children will have opportunities to experience exciting activities that we hope will inspire and enthuse their love of learning and adventure ready for their next stage of education. Whilst our schedule is still being finalised, it is anticipated that summer school will include the following and much more:

• Going back in time to scupper the gun powder plot; • Going back to the 1500’s to experience the Shakespeare theatre; • ‘Space travel’ and an opportunity to take part in astronaut training! • Exploration of a new career as an athlete with Trinity; • Explore French cuisine and cook up a storm in our very own ratatouille restaurant! • Activities that will enable pupils to answer questions such as: o ‘What if Disney had STEAM?’ o How fast did Robin Hood’s arrows travel? • Final day ‘Summer School Graduation’.

On our final day there will be the opportunity for parents/carers to join us remotely for our celebration event at our own Summer School Graduation! This will run in the afternoon with timings to be confirmed nearer the time.
