I am absolutely delighted to be welcoming your daughter to King’s High and I look forward to seeing her settle in and feel at home very quickly. Please do reassure her from me that the expert staff here, and our students, will do all they can to ensure a smooth transition. It is very likely that your daughter will be kept so busy during that first term, taking part in the broad variety of opportunities on offer and meeting new people, that being in a new school will soon be a distant memory. 

In addition to your daughter adapting to her new environment, we appreciate that this will be new for you too as parents. We have therefore drawn together helpful information on these pages to aid you in preparing for September. You will also receive a copy of the King's High Handbook in advance of the new term, which contains detailed information about school life.

Please do read through each of the areas on these pages, and complete the forms in each section where requested. These include:

Compulsory Forms

• Your Child's Data Form
• Medical Information
• Parental Responsibility Statement

Optional Forms

• LAMDA Lessons (if applicable)
• Instrumental and Vocal Music Tuition (if applicable)

Please also take care to review the following requirements:

• School Uniform
• Sports Kit and mouthguards
• Stationery 
• Information Technology and BYOD

The end of the current academic year is fast approaching, and I would like to take the opportunity now to wish you and your daughter a very enjoyable final term with her current school, and a relaxing summer holiday.

I look forward to welcoming you through the doors at King’s High in September.

With best wishes,

Dr Stephen Burley
Head Master

All Year 7 pupils should arrive, in their King’s High uniform, at the school Reception at 1.45pm for a 2pm start.

Pupils will spend the afternoon with their form teacher and new form. This extra time spent in school, prior to the official start of term, will help our new joiners approach their first day more confidently. Pupils should wear King's High school uniform and, in their rucksacks, bring a pencil case containing writing equipment and a full water bottle.

Parents are invited to join us in the school Dining Hall for refreshments from 3:30pm. There is an opportunity to hear from representatives from our King’s High Association of Parents and Staff (KHAPS). We encourage parents to get involved with the excellent work of KHAPS, from attending social events to becoming a KHAPS representative.

There is also an opportunity to become a parent Form Representative, an important point of contact to help parents connect with other parents in their form. If you would be interested in finding out more about being a Year 7 Form Rep, please contact Mrs Didlick.
