Welcome To Year 7: A Fantastic First Two Weeks

Welcome To Year 7: A Fantastic First Two Weeks
11th Sep 2026

Our new Year 7 students have made a brilliant start at Chorlton High School.

It is wonderful to see them settle so quickly into our 'Community of Belonging'. From a nervous first Monday to a confident second Friday, our new students are already mastering their daily routines.
Becoming a CHS Scholar.

During these first two weeks, we introduced Year 7 to the CHS Scholar programme. This mindset is their foundation for success. It shows students exactly how to approach their learning with confidence. Teachers have used assemblies and form times to help students practice these excellent new habits.

Scholar Habits this half term:
•    ATTENTION – No1 habit for effective learning
•    ORGANISE – Our exercise books show effort and pride
•    TALK – Speak and listen like scholars

What Year 7 are saying

We asked our new students how they feel about their start at high school. Here is what they shared:

"I was worried about getting lost on the first day, but the staff helped us figure out our timetables and settle in really quickly."

"My favourite part so far is the science labs. I love using the new equipment!"

"Learning how to be a CHS Scholar makes me feel ready to work hard and do my best."

"I have already made some great new friends in my form group. Everyone is really welcoming."

We are incredibly proud of how well Year 7 have adapted to high school life.

We cannot wait to watch them thrive this year.
