Welcome to the Senior School
We are delighted to welcome you to Hymers College Senior School. We are proud to offer our pupils a warm and supportive environment to help them discover their talents and interests. We offer a broad and rich curriculum to all our pupils, with a huge range of activities, societies and clubs available beyond the classroom.
We are a diverse and inclusive school. We celebrate the successes of all our pupils and encourage pupils to feel part of the Hymers community and embrace the House system.
While the majority of our pupils join the Senior School at Year 7, making the transition from either our Junior School or another primary school, pupils can join our Senior School throughout the year groups, subject to available space. Everyone is always welcomed into the Hymers family.
As Heads of the Lower School and Middle School, we are here to support our pupils throughout their time at Hymers and we look forward to welcoming you.
Dr Bennett, Head of Lower School and Mrs Calvo-Jack, Head of Middle School
