Each individual subject page contains information concerning what is studied in this subject in Year 7.

This includes useful links for parents to support their children with learning at home. All Year 7 students are expected to use their knowledge organiser (electronic file can be found below) for independent study at home. It contains key facts and information, which students need to know thoroughly in order to make good progress. Should you require further information, please contact us either by emailing the curriculum leader directly, or by using the 'Contact Us' form on this website.

We are proud of our robust transition process which helps students joining the school in Year 7 to feel confident and well-adjusted on their first day at Allerton Grange. For more details about our transition programme, please see the Transition page in School Information.

In Year 7, the Arts are studied for 1 hour per week. Design Technology have a rotation on a termly basis between Textiles, Food Technology and Product Design.

Students are encouraged to take part in extracurricular activities to add value to learning and widen their involvement in the school community. Joining an after school club is also a good way of making new friends.

Year 7 assemblies take place on Monday mornings 8.30am – 9.15am, in place of normal registration with form tutors. Assemblies cover a range of key messages, some special events and speakers linked with areas covered through the Personal, Social and Health Education curriculum. Every half term Rewards Assemblies take place to recognise achievements from individuals and groups.

We follow the school’s Policy for Positive Discipline which allocates achievement and behaviour points to students. Points can lead to prizes or special trips whereas behaviour points issued for breaking school rules can lead to detentions or more serious sanctions.
