Year 8 2026-2027

Year 8 focus is to develop our students’ learning and social skills through challenge, achievement and a broad and balanced curriculum both inside the classroom and beyond.

Please remember that your Tutor and House are your first and main points of contact throughout your time at SVC, as they know you best, can direct you to other staff if needed and will guide you through the different transitions/stages.
