Year 7
Words from the Head of Transition and Assessment
Year 7 is a vibrant and important part of the whole school. We have two primary feeder schools (Bradbury School and Quarry Bay School), but also have many entrants that come from other ESF, non ESF schools or are new to Hong Kong.
We make every effort to assist in the transition process from primary to secondary school with a comprehensive liaison programme to which all students are invited. Through the links with primary teachers we aim for continuity and progression in learning and also self-esteem and confidence of an individual student.
Students are placed into a tutor group of 15/16 and through our pastoral system are monitored and assisted by their tutor as they progress through the school. Information transferred from the primary schools is used to support and develop the students learning further in Year 7. To assist and support the students and tutor in this continuum, is the Head of Year, who oversees the academic and pastoral welfare of the cohort.
Our aim in Year 7 is to provide a stimulating, encouraging, honest and safe environment where students grow not only in their learning but also within themselves.
