On 28th July 2011 27 new year 7students, supported by 4 year 8s attended an activity day at school.  This was for students who were coming to Loxford but did not know any other students.  The idea of the day was for them to get to know each other so the transition to Loxford was as easy as possible.


The 4 year 8 students had been in a similar position last year came in to help out and to support the new students.  They will continue to help these students settle in to Loxford in the new term and will be buddies to help out with any difficulties they have settling in to Loxford .

A sports organisation called Premier Sports organised activities on the day.  They began with a treasure hunt around the school to get familiarised with the building then went out to the astro-turf to play sports and team-games.  They had a packed lunch then went out again to play more sports.


Everyone agreed that this was a great day and it helped the new year 7s to feel more confident about starting at Loxford in September.
