Page 1


Year 7 Taster Day, Saturday 5 October 2024

We look forward to welcoming your child to New Hall on Saturday 5 October 2024, to gain a taste of life in the Senior Divisions. A Taster Day provides an opportunity to enjoy a range of academic subjects, take part in sport and activities, and meet teachers, students and other children who are applying to join the School.

The New Hall Experience

New Hall has an enviable reputation for academic excellence and outstanding co-curricular provision, underpinned by unparalleled chaplaincy and pastoral care, where relationships are based on care, trust, and respect.

Following the diamond model, students are taught in co-educational classes up to age 11 and again at Sixth Form, while Years 7-11 are taught in separate classes. With the majority of our co-curricular provision being co-educational, our students enjoy the best of both worlds.

What to Bring

Girls and boys arrive at the front of New Hall at 8.45am, wearing their School PE kit and trainers. They will need a water bottle and a waterproof coat in case of inclement weather.

On arrival, students will receive a New Hall School bag, pencil, pen and ruler.

After arrival at the front of New Hall at 8.45am, girls will be guided to the Chapel and boys to the Jubilee Hall.

Food & Drink

A popular part of the Taster Day is experiencing a New Hall lunch. Pupils can choose from a selection of hot and cold lunches, including vegetarian options. Pupils will also be provided with refreshments throughout the day. Please note that New Hall is a nut-free school.

Parent Information
