We run lots of lunchtime and after school clubs. At the start of each term we will share a new timetable with you. You will have lots to choose from. Click here to see the latest clubs.

By Year 6 you will know your way around the whole of your primary school. You will probably be taught in the same classroom by the same teacher so you will not have to move around as much as you will when you come to Weatherhead. Don't worry about getting lost because we have lots of staff and students who are available to help you. When you leave your tutor room to go to your lessons you will be with your new friends and you can help each other. We will also provide you with a map of the school. Click here to view the map.

Moving on up to Weatherhead is a great opportunity to meet and make new friends. You will meet new students in your form groups, in clubs you join, as well as those in your lessons.

In primary school you probably have a tray and a peg to hang your coat and bag. When you come to Weatherhead you will have the chance to loan a locker and you can store your belongings such as your PE kit here. You will be able to visit your locker before and after school, during break times and lunchtimes.

We all know that it will take you a few weeks to find your way. You will be given a tour of the school and a map to help you. Staff and students will help you find your way too. Remember, at one time we were all new to Weatherhead!

This is a very common worry for students that transition from primary to secondary school. At Weatherhead, the teachers will be happy to explain something to you again. Remember, teachers asked their teachers questions about the work when they were at school!

Please do not worry about bullying. We believe in being kind to everyone in our Weatherhead community. We have student Anti-Bullying Ambassadors who have been trained by the Diana Award. The trained ambassadors will be there to support you by delivering assemblies, leading Mindfulness Mondays at lunchtime and offering other lunchtime drop ins. Our focus during this year's Anti-Bullying Week in November will be the slogan 'Choose Respect'. To ensure our dedication to kindness remains high profile, students will create anti-bullying pledges emphasising the need to be kind and respectful. In fact, our anti-bullying activities have earned us two prestigious awards from the Diana Award for Wellbeing and our community work. You can also talk to your Form Tutor, Pastoral and Academic Support Worker and your Year Leader.

You can see your Form Tutor, Pastoral and Academic Support Worker or Head of Year as your first port of call for any worries you might have. They will be available every day at break and lunchtimes.

At the start of the school year you will be given your own timetable which tells you where you need to go each day and at what time. You and your classmates will have the same timetable. Our two-week timetable gives you five 1-hour lessons a day, with 25 lessons in Week A and 25 lessons in Week B. 

Students are welcome to bring a packed lunch or they can purchase a meal from the school canteen. Our canteen is operated by Chartwells and they offer three rotating lunchtime menus which include a choice of hot meals, salads, pastas and wraps. Click here to see the lunch menus.

All Year 7 students have one lesson of music per week. For students interested in music, we offer a programme of instrumental lessons with qualified peripatetic teachers, who travel between schools to provide specialist lessons. Click here for our music provision.
