With the new school year around the corner, the start of September brings a big change to thousands of students who will be making the transition from a primary to a secondary school. After months of hard work preparing for their 11+ examinations, our Year 7 students step into the next stage of their academic career as secondary school pupils.
Last year, our Senior Tutor, Vivek Gathani, published a video sharing his advice about making the most of the experience and supporting your son or daughter through this exciting - albeit sometimes daunting - moment of their school life.
Having worked at Haberdashers' Boys' School for four years as a teacher, Year 7 form tutor and deputy housemaster, Vivek is closely familiar with the day-to-day opportunities and challenges the students face in a new school.
We would like to wish all those starting the year in a new school the best of luck! Secondary school has a wealth of exciting opportunities to offer you, both academically and in its extra-curricular pursuits.
We hope you enjoy this part of your school journey. We can't wait to hear your first impressions!
