Welcome to Year 7

We’re part of the Lionheart Educational Trust, a family of 11 schools around Leicestershire and Kath Kelly, the CEO, would like to welcome you to the Lionheart Family too.

Here’s an example of a typical Year 7 timetable. We have a 2 week timetable at Sir Jonathan North – Week A and Week B. Each day will be split into 5 lessons, with a morning break and lunchtime.

Week B

Your uniform

At Sir Jonathan North we believe a smart, business-like uniform helps create a sense of unity and pride in the school. A coloured lanyard is also part of the uniform, with each year group having their own colour.

Our uniform consists of a black blazer and / or jumper with the school logo on it; a white shirt or blouse with a collar; a black pleated knee length skirt, a black modesty skirt or business style black trousers. If you wear a headscarf, it should be plain black or white.

Uniform is ordered through Schoolwear Solutions and you can find more information on our uniform here.
