Transition

Our Transition programme is designed to support pupils and families as they prepare for the move from primary to secondary education. We understand that this is an important milestone, and we are committed to making the transition as smooth, positive, and exciting as possible for every student joining our school community in September.

These pages provide key information about transition events, induction activities, school life, and the support available throughout the process with the intention of helping students and parents feel informed, confident, and prepared for the start of Year 7.

We look forward to welcoming our new students and working closely with families and primary schools to ensure every child settles in successfully and enjoys a positive start to their secondary school journey.

Form Groups, Houses and Ties

Your child will have been informed of their Form Group and House during Transition Day. This information is also included in the hard copy parent information pack.

The letter at the end of your child's Form Group indicates their House. Each House has its own tie colour, so this will help you purchase the correct school tie.
