New Intake
Year 7 Welcome Information
Year 6 into Year 7
A very warm welcome to Kings Langley School!
Your child will be joining Year 7 in September.
Please check on the link below for biographical details of the current (2024/2025) Year 7 team - Form tutors
Important information about your child's transition from Primary School to Secondary School can be found on this website as and when it becomes available so please keep checking.
Most young people making the transfer from a smaller primary school to a larger secondary school have anxieties about the changes but also positive anticipations about the new opportunities. We provide support for the transition as outlined in the timetable below.
From the first day that your child starts school with us, you should refer to the Pastoral Year 7 section of this website. Everything that is sent home to parents or has relevance to Year 7 students will be posted there.
