Transition - Starting Year 7 in September
Welcome to the Harris Boys' Academy East Dulwich transition page.
On this page you'll find lots of helpful resources to help you make the transition from your primary school to HBAED and we'll update this information in time to welcome our new students in September 2024.
Most of you will already have visited us before, but perhaps you can't remember too much about the school or what it looked like. Don't worry! On this page we're going to add lots of useful information about the school to help you feel at home when you join us in September. We're really looking forward to seeing you again!
Why not read what a few of our Year 7 boys last year had to say about settling in at our school.
During the next few months you will be going on an exciting journey; finding out more about HBAED and about yourself too, and making the transition from your primary school to secondary school.
Parents, please do email me at transition@harrisdulwichboys.org.uk if you have any queries. If you use Twitter, please do follow us at @HarrisEDB too.
Mr Brett, Principal
