Students were treated to two days of induction, lessons and fun at the highflying Worle Community School Academy in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset.
They enjoyed making new friends and taking part in sport activities in beautiful September sunshine.
Head boy and girl team, Jack Clark and Olivia Finch, spent two days with the students alongside the Head of Year Rachel Brace.
The academy’s pastoral system is one of the best around, and the school‘s motto is ‘We challenge and support to achieve.’.
Rachel said: “It was a fantastic start for our students. The weather was excellent and there was a tremendous atmosphere. They are really lovely students.”
Principal Jacqui Scott said: “It was so lovely to welcome all our new students and we are really looking forward to getting to know them and seeing them prosper here at WCSA.”
The academy has a wonderful caring and high achieving ethos, excellent extracurricular provision including the Jill Dando News Centre and the groundbreaking eco-club.
