A welcome from Mrs Clemons, Head of Year 7

Hello everyone,

My name is Debbie Clemons, and I have the absolute privilege of being the Head of Year 7 at Myton School. I’m delighted to welcome you as you begin the exciting journey from Year 6 into secondary school. This is a huge step, one filled with new experiences, new friendships, new challenges and plenty of opportunities to shine.

At Myton, we understand that starting a new school can feel both exciting and a little nerve wracking. That’s completely normal. What I want you to know is this: you won’t be doing it alone. Our wonderful team is here to support you every step of the way, from your first day to the moment you confidently call Myton “your school”.

Year 7 is a year of exploration, growth and fun. Some of the highlights you can look forward to include:

• The Year 7 Welcome Disco – one of the first chances to relax, meet new people and start making memories.
• Movie Night – a cosy, community-building event where you can enjoy time with your new year group friends.
• Trips, clubs, competitions, and enrichment – whether you love sport, the arts, reading, robotics, or performing, there’s something here for you.

These events are designed to help you settle in, form friendships and build a sense of belonging right from the start.

At Myton, our school values are at the heart of everything we do. Throughout Year 7, we’ll be working together to embed these values, not just in the classroom, but in how we treat one another and how we approach challenges.

Year 7 is the beginning of an incredible journey and I truly cannot wait to see you take your first steps with us. You will grow, learn, laugh, make friends and discover new passions. Most importantly, I want you to know that you belong here and that we are excited to welcome you into the Myton family.

I look forward to meeting each of you soon.

Kind Regards

Debbie Clemons

Head of Year 7

Letters from Year 7 Students

The students who joined us in September 2025 wrote letters to their primary school, telling their former teachers and friends in Years 5 & 6 about their experience of secondary school so far. We’ve pulled some of these letters together into a newsletter.
