Miss J. Holland, who is the Teacher of English and Literacy Coordinator. The letter provides important information regarding the Year 7 English curriculum, specifically focusing on the novel A Monster Calls. In her correspondence, Miss Holland outlines the objectives of the upcoming lessons, the key themes and literary elements students will explore, and any preparatory work or resources required for the unit. She also highlights assessment criteria and offers suggestions for supporting students’ engagement with the text at home. This communication aims to ensure that both staff and parents are well-informed about the teaching plan and can facilitate a meaningful learning experience for the Year 7 pupils.

Tolworth Girls’ School & Sixth Form (TGS) is very fortunate to offer your daughter the opportunity to experience a wide range of sports enabling her to engage positively with Physical Education (PE). With this in mind and to further support her experience of PE at TGS, Year 7 and 8 students will come into school in their PE kit (instead of full school uniform) on days when they have PE lessons ONLY. This will optimise learning time and allow for a quicker transition to lessons. Please be advised however that full school uniform must be worn on Thursday 11 September 2025 for school photographs.
