As pupils progress from Prep to Senior School at Halstead St Andrew’s, they enter an exciting new phase, tailored to foster independence and personal growth while upholding the values that anchor our community.

Transition into Senior School

The transition to Senior School brings a distinctive look, with students wearing a blazer and tie, signifying their advancement and the maturity expected of them. This phase also introduces new facilities, including dedicated lower and upper senior blocks with common rooms, providing spaces for older students to study and socialise, as well as dining arrangements separate from the rest of the school. 
 

The curriculum at Key Stage 4 will cover a wide range of subjects including triple science and photography.

While whole-school assemblies will still bring our school together, weekly assemblies will now be split into Senior and Prep to address age-appropriate topics and discussions. Additionally, the Senior School’s sports day will be held offsite at an athletics stadium, offering an enhanced experience for students to showcase their athletic talents. 
 


With this transition comes increased responsibility. Senior School pupils will have opportunities to take on roles of responsibility within the school, from student council positions to peer mentoring, helping them develop leadership skills and confidence.
