Years 7 and Year 8

The senior years at Northbourne Park are, in many ways, the most rewarding and beneficial period for pupils at the school. The last few years of primary, and the first few years of secondary education are a distinct period in children’s development that is often forgotten, and we are specialists in catering for early adolescence. 

We are ambitious for your child’s future. At Northbourne Park, children feel nurtured, challenged and respected during these vital years and have the space to enjoy their late childhood whilst maturing and preparing for the next step. At Northbourne Park, Years 7 and 8 are most certainly not ‘forgotten’ year groups and the opportunities, experiences and character development for our young people is most visible during this time.
