Welcome to Smithdon High School. Transitioning to a new school is scary for everyone. I can assure you that you are not alone here and you always have people to talk to about any worries or concerns you may have. I’ve been at this school for five years now. I love coming to this school. Every morning when I wake up, I look forward to the day ahead. We offer a variety of opportunities here at Smithdon ranging from foreign trips to sport fixtures. Everyone can find something they love to do. For me that is getting involved in sports fixtures and representing the school.
This year we have been away to Lake Garda Italy where we made our own pizzas, made masks and explored different cultures. We have also been to Holland on a football tour where we played fixtures against Dutch teams and visited the Eindhoven stadium. These were both fun and I would highly recommend you take part in these opportunities. These trips are also a great way to meet new people and to create friendships.
The teachers here at Smithdon are very welcoming, kind and supportive. They always want to see you do your best and achieve your full potential. When you are struggling in class, they will always help you to achieve your maximum grades.
The environment around the school site is pleasant, with a large field. Everyone is always well dressed and presentable. The atmosphere walking round is a very safe environment and I am sure that you will feel very welcome here at Smithdon High.
I look forward to meeting you next year when you start your new chapter, with us here at Smithdon.

Welcome to Smithdon High School. Some of you will be joining us, excited for the next chapter with your friends, while others will be feeling more apprehensive and cautious about your new journey. Hopefully I can put your mind at ease. Yes, this is a big step, but it is one full of opportunity and friendship. I found year 7 a bit daunting, but I needn’t have worried, the staff at Smithdon High School are kind and supportive and the diverse mix of students ensures everyone belongs.
I have been here at Smithdon for five years now and it’s safe to say I have made a lot of friends and have lots of good memories of school life. Here at Smithdon, no matter how bad the weather is or how loud the seagulls are, the staff and students always have smiles on their faces.
The dedicated staff here at Smithdon are incredible. They put in lots of time to make education in high school a worthwhile experience. It will be part of their life they will not forget.
Here at Smithdon we encourage every single one of our students to take up a co-curricular activity. Opportunities Smithdon provides include after school sports activities such as badminton, tennis and football. If you like performing, there are concerts and musicals. Theatre trips are offered to students. Revision clubs are offered in and subjects including Maths and Art. If you want something different to do and want a bit of mystery and anticipation, then Dungeons and Dragons is very popular.
As a student at Smithdon, I’m so happy to see others come into our community. I have had such an amazing school life. From Year 7 all the way through to Year 11 prom (which, I am looking forward to), I am proud to say that I am a Smithdon student.
I hope I see you soon at Smithdon ready to begin the next chapter of your schooling life.
