"My favourite subject is PE. So far we've been in the Sports Hall, but I'm looking forward to using the MUGA and Gym too. We can also play football, basketball or table tennis outside at lunchtimes, and inside there are lots of clubs to choose from too."

"We try hard in our lessons and the work is quite challenging but we get all the help we need from our teachers. In PSHE we've been learning about really important topics too like the impact of the media and gender stereotypes. We talk about how we can make a positive impact on the world around us."

"I love it here at Cardinal Pole! The classes are interesting and my teachers are so knowledgeable about their subjects. My favourite lesson is Maths. It's challenging but Miss Alabi is a really nice teacher and she always helps us out when we get stuck."

"My sister comes here so it felt natural that I came here too. Just like mine there are lots of families who have been coming here for generations. It feels nice to be a part of the history and tradition of Cardinal Pole."

"I was a bit nervous at first about starting secondary school, but coming to Summer School really helped as it meant I was able to do some learning to prepare for Year 7, but also played lots of games and got to know lots of my new classmates."
