Hi, I am Noah and I am proud to be a year 7 student at The Crypt School. After leaving year 6, I thought I wasn’t going to make many new friends as I was going with five other people who went to my primary school. I was wrong. If you are the only one who comes from your school, I would recommend the sports camp that the Crypt PE staff put on the penultimate week of summer. This is where I made my first few friends.

After summer, the whole of year 7 goes to an introduction day and it is only them. This is a good chance to get to know the campus and make new friends. The Crypt School does this, so it makes day 1 easier.

Once you finish your first day, you will realise that a lot of the teachers are really kind and you can always talk to all of them. This really helps if you want to talk about specific subject / homework. For the first term, year 7 students get homework for only English, Maths and Science. 

My opinion on The Crypt School is that it is a good school for intelligent people who want to learn. Our headmaster, Mr Dyer, often uses the phrase “flourish and thrive” which is a good way to describe school life.

Crypt offers a wide range of clubs. At lunch or after school. They spread from writing to Japanese to Lego robotics. I attend the creative writing club. I do enjoy being creative with writing different genres and using my imagination. I use the library a lot which helps me with being creative.

We also use this program called bromcom; which every student is encouraged to install on their iPad the school gives you.

Finally, I would like to talk about subjects (modern foreign languages). Crypt offers three languages: French, Spanish and German. In the first term, year 7 students do 6 taster lessons for each language (three lessons a week). The timetable is split into two weeks: week 1 and week 2.  The first week at school will always be week 1 with the first full week being week 2.
