Year 7 Taster Day, Saturday 3 October 2026 We look forward to welcoming your child to New Hall on Saturday 3 October 2026, to gain a taste of life in the Middle Division. 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.
Parent Information During the Taster Day, parents are encouraged to attend a presentation given by members of the Senior Leadership Team, the Head of Middle Division and current Year 7 students. The presentation will be held in the Walkfares Canopy at 9.15am - 9.45am. After you drop off your child, you will be guided to Walkfares Canopy.
