Data Collection

Please read through all of the information in the sections below before following the link in section 5 to our data collection form.

Step 1 - Policies

Have you read the school policies on Behaviour, Home Study and Detentions?  You can find them all (and many others) at https://www.sbllearning.org.uk/useful-information/#policies.  We will be asking you to confirm that you agree with them.

Step 2 - Consent and Permissions

Consent and permissions

We are going to ask you to give consent for things including

Step 3 - Friends

Your son or daughter will be placed into a Year 7 tutor group at the start of the year. Each tutor group is assigned to one of our 4 houses; Atlas, Callisto, Europa or Titan. Students will see their tutor every morning for twenty minutes, to look after pastoral and academic needs. Your child’s tutor is the first point of contact to resolve any issues that you may have. Learning Groups (subject lessons) are decided by the school.

Please encourage your child to view moving to secondary school as a time to meet new people and make new friends. To help him or her to settle in, we will try to place them in a tutor group with someone that they already know. To help in this process, we are going to ask for the names of up to three children that your child knows and would wish to be with. 

These names will not be treated in preference order. 

We will do our best to ensure that your child is placed with at least one of these three students.

It may be that your son or daughter is the only child coming from a primary school, or is in a school where a very small number are transferring to SBL. If this is the case, please do your best to indicate names of children we could pair your child with. We will be aware of your circumstances and will do our best to place your child sympathetically.

Please have this conversation with your child and have their names ready

Step 4 - Information

We will be asking for details such as emergency contact information, GP addresses and phone numbers, as well as any other medical or SEND information that may be relevant. Please make sure you have that to hand.
