  • Middle School Handbook
    Middle School Handbook I Welcome to the Middle School N As they enter Middle School, our pupils are embarking on an exciting and T challenging period of their lives as they leave childhood behind and, over a period R of two years, transform into young adults ready for the time when they will make O their way independently in life. We encourage our pupils to fulfil their D potential academically, as well as making the most of the fantastic range of activities offered to them. U The move from Third to Fourth Year marks the end of one stage of education and the C beginning of the next. The GCSEs are the pupils’ first experience of national examinations, and one of our aims at this stage is to encourage our young people to take more responsibility for their own discipline and learning. T An experienced team of Form Tutors supports our pupils and is available to deal with I any questions or concerns you may have. We regularly monitor pupil progress, supporting O and encouraging them to aim high and achieve their goals. Parents still have a vital role to play in support and encouragement and should not N hesitate to contact the Form Tutor, Head of Year, Head of Section or School Nurse if they are concerned about any matter, be it academic or pastoral. We also help each individual prepare for life beyond Middle School, with advice about further study and possible future careers. All go on to some form of further study, with the vast majority taking A Levels before attending their university of choice.

    Japanese Penpal Year 8 student Charis Rae has started a new long distance friendship with a penpal in Japan, corresponding in both English and Japanese. Charis, a pupil at William Hulme’s Grammar School (WHGS), recently started writing to her new friend Yuto after encouragement from the school’s English teacher Joanne Turan, who has been penpal with Yuto’s mother for over 20 years. Charis wrote her first letter to Yuto in both Japanese and English, even writing a song for him, with both pen pals being keen musicians. Soon after, Charis received a letter from Yuto, also written in English and Japanese, detailing his hobbies and interests. Commented Ms Turan: “As Literacy Co-ordinator and Teacher of English at WHGS, I am keen to develop links with schools in Japan and other countries, helping to encourage our pupils to enjoy and take pleasure in letter writing, discovering new friendships and cultures along the way. “Having written to Yuto’s mother for over 20 years, it is fantastic to see the joy of anticipation on the faces of students when receiving letters from their pen pal and I was delighted to see that same excitement when Charis received her first letter. I wish her and Yuto many years of friendship.” Added Peter Mulholland, Principal of William Hulme’s Grammar School: “We’re delighted to see our students interacting with fellow pupils from overseas and this is just another excellent example of our commitment to providing our students with an education with character.” View this article on our Website… Y8 Cooking Competition The Year 8 cookery competition was held on Tuesday, 22 January, with all four houses competing strongly for house points and individual prizes.
