Transition Program

During the Spring Term, Year 6 teachers begin discussing the move to secondary schools with pupils. Teachers have also completed a transfer form which indicates your child’s interests, talents and abilities, so that your child can make good progress from their first day in September. We will be in touch with a range of information for each new pupil, and also request some information from you. Amongst other forms and useful information, most important are the Year 6 Pupil Registration online form which should be completed to provide us with key details of emergency contacts, and the 'All About Me' form, which should be completed by your child. This form is your child’s opportunity to directly tell us about themselves, their friends, interests and hobbies. They can also tell us of any concerns, so that we can begin putting support in place early. Behind the scenes, we will also maintain communication with Year 6 teachers to discuss how we can best support your child in the transition process. For pupils who require significant additional support, we will contact you and, with the support of your child’s primary school, ensure that we provide personalised arrangements to aid a smooth transition for your child.
