We work closely with other primary schools in the area and with all the schools to which the children will eventually move, to ensure a consistent and well-planned transfer to secondary education.
Children are offered the opportunity to start visiting their chosen high school from year 5 onwards. We liaise closely with the secondary schools to make sure transition is as smooth as possible. They will have the confidence and skills necessary to make a smooth transition. They will have a good idea of what to expect when they go to their new school and will have made at least one visit and will have met some of their new teachers.
Your child’s class teacher or Mrs Taylor will be more than happy to discuss the options and implications of secondary transfer with you.
