Form Rooms will be the normal teaching room (or as close to it as we could get) of your Form Tutor. That means that your form room could be in any area of the school. Year groups will no longer have all their form rooms in the same area therefore you are highly likely to have neighbours from different year groups.
You can find out your form room in two different ways. For those of you who have access to Show My Homework your new timetable will appear approximately two weeks before the first day back. This will have your Form Room on it.
Alternatively, an email will be sent to your school email advising you of your Form Room over the summer holidays.
New Year 7s and Year 12s will receive a paper copy of their timetable on the first day of term.
Yes, you will be able to use a locker again. Over the summer the site team will be working hard to allocate students with lockers near to their form rooms. Your tutor will tell you more on the first day back.
