Transition

Heading into the Summer holidays we wanted to provide an update around Transition and the start of term,  the presentation linked below includes key information and contacts.

Transition Updates Summer 2023

We look forward to seeing you soon, enjoy the Summer break.

 

We are extremely proud of our transition programme, which is in place to ensure that the move from primary school to secondary school is a smooth and positive experience for all our new students. Members of the transition team have a wealth of experience and are committed to ensuring that both students and parents feel supported throughout the process.

In addition to our staff transition team, we have an enthusiastic Year 7 student leader team who are also part of the process, and support all of the transition events. This strategy has proved very successful in helping the new students feel at ease, answering any questions they have and offering ‘top tips’ to help them settle.
