SeniorYear 7 Transition Prefects Support a Confident Start at Red House School
Starting Senior School is an exciting milestone, but it can also feel like a big step for many pupils. At Red House School, our dedicated Year 7 Transition Prefects play a key role in ensuring that every pupil feels welcomed, supported, and ready to thrive from day one.

Supporting a Smooth Transition into Senior School
Moving into Year 7 marks the beginning of a new chapter, filled with opportunities, challenges, and growth. Our Year 7 Transition Prefects are specially selected to help make this transition as smooth as possible, offering guidance, reassurance, and a friendly face throughout the school day.
By sharing their own experiences and offering practical advice, these prefects help younger pupils quickly find their feet and feel part of the Red House School community.
Building Confidence and Friendships
One of the most important aspects of starting Senior School is building confidence and forming new friendships. The Year 7 Transition Prefects are always on hand to support pupils socially as well as academically.
Whether it’s helping someone navigate the school, encouraging participation in activities, or simply being there to listen, they play a vital role in helping pupils feel comfortable and included.
The contribution of our Transition Prefects goes beyond the first few weeks of term. Their ongoing support helps to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where every pupil can succeed.
Their enthusiasm, leadership, and commitment make a real difference, and we are excited to see the positive impact they will continue to have throughout the year.
At Red House School, we are proud of the supportive culture we foster. Thanks to the dedication of our Year 7 Transition Prefects, new pupils can look forward to a confident, happy, and successful start to Senior School life.
