Year 7 Information September 2024

We are really excited about welcoming your children to Great Baddow High School to begin the second stage of their learning journey.

This page will be updated regularly as a useful source of information to compliment any that is sent to your home or communicated via primary schools.

Initially we would like to draw your attention to the 'Information for Parents' booklet which provides important information that you should be aware of before your child joins us in September 2024.

Induction Days

Our induction days will be held on Wednesday 26^th and Thursday 27^th of June.  Your child will be invited to one of these days and you will also be invited to a parents’ information evening on the same day.  More details to follow.

Arbor Parent Portal

Arbor is a simple, smart and cloud-based Management Information System, which we have introduced at Great Baddow High School to help us work faster, smarter and more collaboratively with our parents.

You can log into Arbor to see and update your child’s information, get live updates and make payments or bookings on the go!

There is an 'Arbor App' you can download on your phone and a 'Parent Portal' you can access on the internet, through which we can keep you informed about your child’s life at school in a much more accessible way.

Find out more about the Arbor Parent Portal here.

School Uniform

It is our aim that students should develop a sense of pride in their work, behaviour and dress. Therefore, a high standard of personal appearance is expected of all students.

Find out more about our school uniform requirements here.

An option to buy 'Pre-Loved' uniform is available. Further details can be found here.
