We offer a comprehensive package to all pupils who are transitioning to us, designed to empower your child to take ownership of their move to secondary school, supported by our professional and experienced staff. The package has various elements to it, depending on the needs and location of each child.
AUTUMN TERM BEFORE TRANSITION
- Our annual Open Day, on a Saturday morning, provides the chance for families to visit the school to see it in action, meet pupils & staff and to ask any questions they may have about secondary education.
- The deadline for applying for a place at any secondary school in the country is 31 October. Please note that applying to us involves two separate processes:
