It is possible to get to school by car and by bicycle. If coming by bike you MUST wear a helmet and park your bike in the bike lock area.

• You will be given a map on your transition days so you will be able to familiarise yourself with the layout of school. You will soon get used to your new classes and the layout of the school. In case you do get lost, you can always ask a teacher or a pupil for directions – they’re always very friendly!
• Other year groups should know where the rooms are if you ask them
• You can ask our prefects, these are the pupils who wear black ties.
• Ask at reception if you are really lost and they will be able to point you in the right direction

For the first couple of weeks, teachers are always forgiving and will understand if you’re accidentally late – it happens to everyone! However, if you’re constantly late it will be taken more seriously

When you start the school will feel really big, but after a couple of weeks it will start to feel smaller and you will know your way around.

You won’t have much of a problem making friends. Everyone will be just as nervous as you so just be nice to people and you’ll make friends in no time! You will also have met new people and started making new friends on your transition days and you will know people that are in your form.

Pack your school bag the night before and double check before you leave your house in the morning

Of course you can bring your mobile phone to school, we know that a lot of students make their own way to and from school and it is important to keep safe. However, mobile phones will be collected in every morning in form time and locked away safe for the day, at the end of the day pupils will be given their phones back. If you do not hand your phone in this will be taken seriously.
