Benvenuto alla Smithills School, una comunità felice e di successo in cui ogni studente è riconosciuto come un individuo e dove miriamo a tutti per raggiungere il loro potenziale. Crediamo che ogni bambino abbia un talento e possa sperimentare il successo man mano che si trasformano in giovani adulti attraverso l'ambiente solidale e premuroso che forniamo.
SUCCESSO PER TUTTI
La Scuola è prima di tutto un luogo di apprendimento in cui gli studenti si sentono al sicuro e si godono il loro percorso educativo.
L'apprendimento è al centro di tutto ciò che facciamo sia dentro che fuori la classe e con così tante opportunità alla Smithills School sentiamo che tuo figlio prospererà qui con noi.
Alla Smithills School rispettiamo i valori tradizionali del duro lavoro, delle buone maniere e dell'autodisciplina, mentre prepariamo i nostri studenti per le loro vite future in un mondo in continua evoluzione. Beneficiamo di uno staff dedicato e ben qualificato che porta in vita l'apprendimento del 21° secolo per ogni individuo.
Allora perché cercare un posto per tuo figlio alla Smithills School?
Siamo orgogliosi della nostra atmosfera familiare, del fatto che gli studenti si sentano al sicuro e accuditi e che, esaminando i nostri alunni, sappiamo che continuano a sentirsi supportati. Come genitore, ora ti trovi di fronte alla decisione molto importante su quale scuola sia la migliore per tuo figlio. Mentre ci sforziamo di includere tutte queste informazioni di cui avrai bisogno nel nostro prospetto, crediamo fermamente che non puoi scoprire se questa scuola è giusta per tuo figlio semplicemente dalla documentazione o da una serata aperta. C'è solo un modo per vivere e apprezzare appieno ciò che la nostra Scuola ha da offrire ed è visitarlo durante una normale giornata scolastica. Vi invito pertanto a contattarci per concordare una visita o per rispondere a qualsiasi ulteriore domanda possiate avere.

Dear Year Six child,
I am writing to you from Smithills School to tell you about the transition from year 6 to 7 and my experience when I first came. Firstly, when you first come in on your first day, you will go into the assembly hall where you will be told what form you are in and where to sit. When everything is settled down you will have an assembly led by Miss Dewse (the headteacher) and Mrs Scholefield (Your director of learning). Once the assembly has finished, you will be taken by your form tutor to your form room which will be where you come to every morning. One of the things I was worried about was getting lost but once you know the routine you will get used to it. For example, say you have a lesson in W21, the W stands for west block, which is in the upper building, the 2 means the second floor and the 1 means the first classroom. So, it is the first classroom on the second floor in the west block. Another thing that is important is that on Monday mornings, you do NOT go to your form room, you go to the assembly hall for assembly apart from during the exam season where your assembly will be in the Sports hall. Something you can look forward to are extra curriculum clubs and the last week when it is a fun week, where you go on inflatables, trips and have a sports day.
I hope you are looking forward to joining Smithills and I hope you are looking forward to the things I have told you about.
Kindest Regards,
Oscar Wright
