Starting at Archbishop Temple

Welcome to our Archbishop Temple family. We are looking forward to a long and happy association with you and your child. I know that the time between accepting your place with us and starting in September can be worrying - this page is to give you some reassurance and let you know what will happen next.

Once we have all the acceptance forms, ATS staff will come and visit your child at their primary school. This is a chance for us to pass on information about the school, but also gives your child the opportunity to ask any questions they may have. Wherever possible, we will bring current Year 7 pupils with us so that the children can hear about life at ATS from a pupil perspective, and someone who has recently been on the journey from primary, to high school.

Your child will also receive a letter inviting them to our Primary Taster Day in July. At this event, the new Year 7 pupils will meet each other, as well as their form tutors and Heads of House. We invite parents to join us at 2.30pm, when there will be an opportunity to meet key members of staff and allay any lingering concerns. However, if you have any queries in the meantime, please contact me on the school number or by email via the staff contacts page.

I look forward to working with you and your child.
