A Warm Welcome to our 2025 Freshers.
If your child is starting at Haverstock as a Year 7 'fresher' in September 2025, welcome! Thank you for choosing our school.
Starting Year 7 is the first step on an exciting new school journey for your child. Between now and September, we’ll help your child get settled, make new friends, and grow their confidence so they’re all set to succeed.
We were delighted to welcome our new Haverstock families for a morning of getting to know one another and sharing our vision for secondary transition. If you missed it, don't worry – we have a great programme of events coming up, with lots more opportunities to get to know us and the building in advance of September.
And we'll add you to our weekly news email, Haverstock School News, so you can see what's happening in school each week.
Calendar Countdown to September
Please put these dates in your calendar now. We'll send you more information closer to each event.

• Thu 3 July – Year 7 Induction Day, 9-12.00
All Year 6 pupils spent a morning in their new school meeting their Year Leader and Tutor, joining fun treasure-hunt tours of the school and taking part in some sample lessons. The day helps our Freshers understand their new school routines ahead of September. It's also a great opportunity to meet the other Year 6 pupils who will be in their tutor group.
• Tue 2 Sept (TBC) – Year 7 Getting Ready Day
Our new Year 7 students start school a day before the other years, so they can settle in and get to know their surroundings.
