Tips from our Year 7 Transition Leaders 

Don't Worry About Getting Lost
  • There is always someone to help you so don’t worry about asking someone for help - there are plenty of teachers and students who can help you find your way around.
  • The teachers are always there to help if you get lost or have any queries.
  • Follow your classmates to your next class if you don't know where it is as they will probably be going to the same place.
  • Try not to worry about and everyone is in the same situation as you.
  • Its not scary at all, you get used to it very quickly and that they’ll love North Leam
Don't Worry About Making Friends
  • Be friendly and go in with an open mind to new people you meet.
  • Joining clubs is a good way to build confidence and make friends.
  • Everyone's really nice and welcoming, also everyone is going through the same thing right now.
Useful Tips:
  • Most of your books are kept in your bag so make sure you have a big enough bag.
  • If you need help with anything Student Services can help.  
  • Have a pen, pencil and ruler with you at all times because the school don't hand them out.
  • Make as many friends as you can. 
  • Be brave, be strong,  be positive, don't give up.
  • I have loved making new friends and learning so many things.
  • I've loved all the opportunities.
