WE LOOK FORWARD

TO MEETING YOU

Welcome to Etone College. Thank you for choosing us and congratulations on securing a place for your child. 

We are about to embark on a journey that could last up to seven years as your child begins in Year 7. During their time with us, your child will have a range of opportunities to achieve and excel.  I encourage you to make the most of the provision we have in place and seize each moment.

My staff work tirelessly to ensure that every child succeeds and achieves their potential.  The teaching and support staff are led by strong leaders who are just as ambitious for your child as you are.   We firmly believe that every child should have high aspirations and we will work relentlessly to enable this for all Etone College pupils. 

We have high expectations of our pupils from their conduct and behaviour in school and out in the community to the way that they wear their uniform with pride.  Alongside this we expect them to work hard to achieve success while enacting the Etone Values.

Our website is an important source of information and communication holding a wealth of details for you to learn more about us.  We use this platform to share and celebrate the wonderful achievements and successes of our pupils. 

I know that you have chosen Etone College for our values and determination for your child to succeed.  I look forward to welcoming your child on their journey with us and to working with you.

As you start to think about leaving Primary school and the move to Secondary school, you should remember why you chose Etone College. 

Progress for All

Our school community is proudly diverse and we do not tolerate bias, prejudice or discrimination of any kind – whether conscious or unconscious – and we instil in our pupils nothing less than the urge to go out into the world and make it a better place.

Our Values

We are proud that our pupils embrace our values in everything they do. Our Values Representatives help to promote our core values; each value is linked to the British values. Read More HERE.

Who Will Look After Me?

Should you have any worries or issues, you should report them to your Form Tutor, class teachers or Head of House who will help you with any problems you may have. All staff in school are there to look after you and guide you through your transition to secondary school as we know this can be a daunting time. Etone College has a group of Prefects in Year 11. These are senior pupils who will be able to help you out if you have a problem. You can recognise them all because they wear a black tie without the usual House-coloured stripes. Instead of the stripes, it has the school badge on it. You will have Prefects attached to your tutor group and they will act as your guides during Induction Day and on your first day at Etone College in September. During the Autumn term your form Prefects will help you to settle in and remind you of where you need to go for your lessons. If you see any Prefects around school, they will be able to offer you support, should you ever need help with anything.

Can I Ride My Bike

Yes - you can come to school on your bike. As soon as you enter the school premises you must get off and push your bike to the bike sheds where you can lock it away safely until the end of the day. We advise that you regularly get your bike breaks checked and that you wear a helmet when you are riding your bike for safety. 

Using the Toilet

You can normally only go to the toilet at break and lunch. However, if you have a toilet pass for medical reasons you will be allowed to go during lesson time.

What Will I Learn?

You will study a varied and exciting curriculum. Click the button below to see what you will be learning about in each subject. In addition to your subjects, some pupils will have extra literacy, numeracy and spelling support.

House System

When you start at Etone College you will be placed into a ‘House’. This will be like your family at school and your Head of House will monitor all of your successes and any areas you might struggle with. They will contact home to discuss ways in which we can work together to ensure that you achieve your best. If you have any worries on a day to day basis, you’ll be able to talk to your Form Tutor who will work with your Head of House to help you resolve them.

Breaktime

At school you will have a 30 minute break in the morning. You can socialise with friends on the tennis courts.  If you want to buy food, you can purchase and eat refreshments in the school hall or cafe. You can read in the library.

Lunchtime

All of Year 7 have lunch at the same time so you will be able to see your friends. You can buy a meal deal which includes a drink for £2.40. You will need money on your Wisepay account to buy refreshments. You can bring a packed lunch or buy a sandwich or roll at lunch time. Members of Leadership will be on duty during break and lunch time. You can view the school’s menu at HERE.
