We will have only very limited access to the new school for a handful of key staff over the summer as packing crates are moved, IT systems decanted then set up in their new locations and classrooms furnished. Our builders, Galliford Try, hand the building over to us on Monday, 5th September which gives staff three days to unpack crates, have training on how the systems in the new school work and do any snagging before students are welcomed to their new school. **Arrangements for Thursday, 8th of September** From 8am members of staff will be around the entrances to the school and in the corridors to show where each year group are to go. Things will be different for us all so it would be good if **all students to be at school by 8:20am on the first day back.** | | **Year 7** | **Year 8** | **Year 9** | **Year 10** | **Year 11** | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | **8am onwards** | Activities Gym with form tutors and Year Leader | Sports Hall with form tutors and Year Leader | Sports Hall with form tutors and Year Leader | Main Hall with form tutors and Year Leader | Main Hall with form tutors and Year Leader | | **To tutor group** | Escorted by form tutor at 8:25am | Escorted by form tutor at 8:30am | Escorted by form tutor at 8:35am | Escorted by form tutor at 8:30am | Escorted by form tutor at 8:35am | A map of where these rooms are on the ground floor of our new school is shown below: ![](https://longbenton-high-school-2.schudio.com/images/Map_of_new_school.jpg) **Year 7** will have an early lunch on the first two days back to let them (and us) get used to the new dining spaces. **Arrangements for post-16** Year 12 are to spend the morning of Thursday, 8th September in the drama studio.
