The move to year seven, in the Senior School, is an exciting time for year six pupils. Rougemont pupils are familiar with many of the shared facilities and indeed with some of the teachers who teach in both sections of the School.

"The transition between Junior and Senior school is made easy by the hardworking, helpful and very friendly teachers in both the Junior and Senior schools. There is lots to be worried about when going to a new school; will you make new friends? Will you be happy in class? But at Rougemont, it is simple and easy.

You still have the same friends you had in the Junior School and you make new friends, too. You are on the same school site and the only things which are different are the teachers, who have been very kind, helpful and understanding.

It is exciting to begin new subjects, such as separate sciences and in the upper juniors you have already started doing Design and Technology and Art and Design.

The senior school is wonderful as freedom is allowed, so we can enjoy the school's fantastic grounds more than we ever have before."

"One of the things I was worried about, when moving to year 7, was where all the classrooms were. On our taster day it was fine, because we were shown to our form room and we also found the classrooms in which our lessons for that day were. Some of the classrooms were the same, like the music room, or the D.T workshop."
