What’s it Like at GMS
Director of Learning Year 7

We are excited to announce Miss F Tuddenham will be the new Director of Learning (DoL) for Year 7 this coming academic year 2025/26.
Miss Tuddenham has a wealth of experience and understands that transitioning from primary to secondary school is both exciting and a little daunting for all concerned.
On transition day and over the next academic year, she is looking forward to learning all about her Year 7 cohort.
She is excited about guiding them through the first year of their learning journey in GMS.
The Year 7 Student Support Officer is Mrs J Spencer.

Transition Resources
Below are links to two documents:
- Year 7 Handbook 2025-26 and
- Home School Partnership document
The newly published handbook gives the most important information to ensure our Year 7 cohort settles in successfully. The Home School Partnership document is important too, because experience has shown that a successful joint working partnership leads to much better outcomes for all students.
We look forward to seeing you all on Transition Day and in September.
