Start of Term
Welcome our new and returning students with our approved social media assets.
Start of term campaign is our opportunity to welcome our new and returning students to Herts. It’s crucial that we put our best foot forward and make sure our students know what to expect at every stage in the lead up to the first week of teaching.
This encompasses everything students should do before they arrive, when they get here and the weeks after welcome week. Further details can be found on the start of term pages in Herts Hub.
