What’s it Like at GMS
Director of Learning Year 7
Please note, the rest of the ‘Transition to Year 7’ page, will be updated soon.
We are excited to announce Miss C Roberts will be the new Director of Learning (DOL) for Year 7 this coming academic year 2024/25.
Miss Roberts’ involvement in the transition process has given her a depth of understanding about the new intake. She is looking forward to guiding the new students through transition and into Year 7, as they start their secondary school journey in GMS.
The Year 7 Student Support Officer is Miss Aylett-Livesley.
‘After a very positive transition and start to the term, I am looking forward to a successful year with my new year group.’

Reading for Fun Library Events
Join the 2024 Summer Reading Challenge ‘Marvellous Makers’ at GMS’s Library and the Marlow Library in Prospect Road. This is a great opportunity and challenge for our new Year 7s.
Go to a local Buckinghamshire library or join online. Full details can be found here: https://summerreadingchallenge.org.uk/
Start date 6th July
Participants (ages 6-11) sign up at the local library, collect the participant pack and set themselves a challenge to read as many books and magazines, or listen to audiobooks as they feel they are able to during the summer school holidays.
Stickers are collected on their way to their literary goal; the stickers are found in the participant pack. A certificate of achievement is given at the end of the challenge.
To become involved pop into your local library or e-mail lib-mar@buckinghamshire.gov.uk for further information.
Other events and craft activities, related to the challenge, are taking place at Marlow library during the summer.
Also, head for Tween Readers Club (for ages 10-15 years ). It meets on the first Saturday of each month at Marlow Library. There is no entry fee and you don’t have to pre-book – just turn up at 11:30 and join in the fun chatting about books, films and playing word games and quizzes.
