Welcome to Year 7 at Campion School!

We are thrilled to welcome you and your family to the Campion community. Starting secondary school is a big milestone, and it’s perfectly normal to feel a mix of excitement and nerves. At Campion, we are dedicated to making your transition into Year 7 as smooth, positive, and enjoyable as possible.

Our school prides itself on strong values, high expectations, and a welcoming, supportive environment where every student can thrive both academically and personally. We believe that working closely with families is essential to your success, and we look forward to partnering with you throughout this exciting journey.

You might be wondering what your first day will look like, which lessons you’ll attend, who your teachers will be, or how you’ll find your way around. Don’t worry! Everyone starting Year 7 is in the same situation, and we’ll ensure you feel confident and comfortable from day one. You’ll take part in a welcome assembly, meet your form tutor and classmates, and receive plenty of guidance to help you settle into your new routine. Friendly faces will be around every corner.

Top tips for starting Year 7:

Be organised: Pack your bag the night before and check your timetable.
Ask questions: No question is too small — teachers and older students are here to help.
Get involved: Try a club or activity and discover new interests.
Be kind to yourself: It’s normal for it to take a little time to settle in.
Make new friends: Smile, introduce yourself, and remember everyone is eager to make friends.

This page will be your handy guide for everything you need before September from what to expect on your first day to learning about your teachers, your subjects, and helpful tips from current students. Parents and carers will also find useful information to support their children through this important transition.

We can’t wait to see all the amazing things you will achieve as you begin this new chapter. Welcome to Year 7, your Campion adventure starts here!
