Each year, the school buzzes with excitement as we prepare to welcome our new Year 7 cohort into Senior School. All form teachers and many subject teachers are involved in delivering this programme which aims to make the transition to Senior School as smooth as possible.

Over the coming months we will invite you to participate in activities and attend events which will help us get to know your child and for them to meet their new peer group.

In addition to the children who will move up to Year 7 from our Prep School, we will be welcoming children from lots of schools and whilst this can be an apprehensive time, our transition activities have been designed to ensure our Senior School feels like home when they arrive in September. Faces will be familiar, and they will be ready and able to embark on the next phase of their school life.
