We are delighted to welcome our new Year 7 students and families joining us in September 2026

We hope you are looking forward to being part of the Bacon's College community. 

The transition from primary to secondary school is a very exciting time for both students and their parents/carers, but we also understand that it can be daunting and you will have lots of questions.
