Box Hill School Yr7 Induction Booklet

INDUCTION BOOKLET

welcome A warm welcome to all our new families starting Box Hill School in September!

WELCOME

This Induction Pack will give you a flavour of the range of activities that you will enjoy and can be a part of during your journey through Box Hill School.

As you may know, there is an Induction Day for new pupils on Monday 5th September 8.30am - 3.00pm and I will write with more details in due course. The first day of term for the whole school will then be on Tuesday 6th September - this will be the first opportunity for the school to be together as a whole after the summer break.

We hope you have an enjoyable (and hopefully sunny!) summer. We will be sending you content throughout the holidays. Box Hill School really looks forward to meeting you in September.
