To help you with the move to your new school, most high schools and academies have transition days – days when you visit your new school, meet your new teachers and start to make new friends. It will probably take some of you a bit longer than others to settle in, find your way around all the buildings and get used to having a teacher for each subject. If you are worried, talk to your form teacher or head of year, they'll do their best to help. You can also watch 'My first week' on YouTube (skip the advert) Travelling to school, learning new subjects and busy corridors, can be a big change. Use this Metro journey planner to find out which bus you will need to get to school from your home (you will need both your home and your school address).
