WELCOME I HOPE YOU ARE ALL SAFE MR LITTLE AND WELL, AND HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET BACK TO THE HEWETT SCHOOL FOR JUST A BIT! ACADEMY PRINCIPAL I know there will be a mixture of emotions about coming up to high school - some of you will be very excited, whilst others might be nervous. To help you with this, we have produced a booklet that you might like to look through to remind you all about what life is going to be like at The Hewett Academy. Read this through with your parents or carers and if you have any questions, please ask your parents/carers to email me. I know we can’t all be together at the moment as usually we would be, but we will do our best to ensure you have a smooth transition to high school. We are really looking forward to meeting you, and have a fantastic summer. The Hewett Academy Transition Guide — 3
