Activities to help get you ready for the next school year!

Introduction

Welcome to the summer holiday activities page for last year's Key stage 3 students. This page is for students who are currently year 7, 8 or 9.

There are also some links for students who are about to start studying in Post 16 as well.

All of the things on this page are optional; we just thought that you might want some things to do over the holidays.

There are activities from each one of your subjects - and also some general topics, projects and challenges as well! Take care and see you all soon
