Dear Parent / Carer,
Re: The Butterfly Club
Congratulations on your allocation of a place at The Marlowe Academy.
We can now officially welcome you to our Butterfly Club. The sessions are on Tuesdays from 3:30pm until 4.45pm at the Marlowe Academy. These sessions begin on 8th June and will run through until taster day on the 8th July. These are parent and child sessions. Please note the start time is flexible after 3:30pm for those children not able to arrive until slightly later but we will be unable to accommodate children before 3:30pm.
The activities during each session will be designed around making friends, games playing, team building and looking forward to year 7; what their timetable may look like, who might be their form tutor, meeting older students etc. The club should enable your child to begin school in September with the confidence that they have already have friends and will have met many of their teachers.
Students can come to sessions dressed in their own clothes or in their school uniform as I am aware many of them are coming directly from school. The atmosphere will be informal but structured. There will be opportunities throughout the afternoon for students to ask current year 7’s questions that they may have about their new school.
The parents and carers who do join us will get the opportunity to meet key members of staff to ask any questions you may have regarding the school day in an informal setting. We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday’s. Please note that if you have not filled in a form, you are still welcome to drop in on Tuesday’s, just bring the slip with you when you come in.
Yours sincerely,
Naomi Black and Paul Johnson
