SMITHILLS SCHOOL
SUCCESS FOR ALL
MENSAJE DE BIENVENIDA DEL DIRECTOR
Bienvenidos a Smithills School, una comunidad feliz y exitosa donde cada estudiante es reconocido como individuo y donde nuestro objetivo es que todos alcancen su potencial. Creemos que cada niño tiene un talento y puede experimentar el éxito a medida que se convierten en adultos jóvenes a través del entorno de apoyo y cuidado que brindamos.
ÉXITO PARA TODOS
La Escuela es, ante todo, un lugar de aprendizaje donde los estudiantes se sienten seguros y disfrutan de su viaje educativo.
El aprendizaje está en el centro de todo lo que hacemos tanto dentro como fuera del salón de clases y con tantas oportunidades en la Escuela Smithills, sentimos que su hijo prosperará aquí con nosotros.
En Smithills School respetamos los valores tradicionales de trabajo arduo, buenos modales y autodisciplina, al mismo tiempo que preparamos a nuestros estudiantes para sus vidas futuras en un mundo en constante cambio. Nos beneficiamos de un personal dedicado y bien calificado que da vida al aprendizaje del siglo XXI para cada individuo.
Entonces, ¿por qué buscar un lugar para su hijo en la Escuela Smithills?
Nos enorgullecemos de nuestro ambiente familiar, de que los alumnos se sientan seguros y cuidados y de que, encuestando a nuestros alumnos, sabemos que siguen sintiéndose apoyados. Como padre, ahora se enfrenta a la decisión muy importante de qué escuela es la mejor para su hijo. Si bien nos esforzamos por incluir toda esta información que necesitará en nuestro prospecto, creemos firmemente que no puede averiguar si esta escuela es adecuada para su hijo simplemente con la documentación o una noche de puertas abiertas. Solo hay una manera de experimentar y apreciar plenamente lo que nuestra Escuela tiene para ofrecer y es visitarla durante un día escolar normal. Por lo tanto, le invito a que se ponga en contacto con nosotros para concertar una visita o aclarar cualquier otra duda que pueda tener.
No dude en ponerse en contacto con nosotros con respecto a cualquier aspecto de la transferencia o la admisión. Espero trabajar con usted y su hijo en los próximos años.

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
