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.
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.

Start of term dates for Year 7
Year 7 students will start at the Academy on Wednesday 3rd September. The first day will run from 8.15am-1.35pm, finishing slightly earlier than our normal timing to allow for some additional staff training. Students need to be on-site by 8.15am in full school uniform.
The rest of the students will not return until Thursday 4th September 2025, giving the new students a chance to settle in.
From Thursday 4th September 2025 the normal school day will be Monday to Thursday 8.15am-3.05pm and Friday 8.15am-2.20pm.
Pop-up uniform shop
There will be a pop-up uniform shop at the academy selling school uniform on 7th July 2025 4-6pm.
