Transition from a free standing school
Free standing affords our students some advantages over all-through settings
We take pride in being a free-standing primary school, offering our students the unique benefits that come with this model. As the oldest children in the school, and with the opportunities for leadership and responsibility that this affords, our pupils develop the qualities of independence, confidence, and self-esteem. This prepares them well for the transition to a secondary school they will have to make at the end of Year 6, aged 11.
Preparation for Transition
Preparing our students for senior school is a duty we take very seriously
To ensure a smooth transfer to secondary school, we undertake considerable preparatory work during Years 5 and 6. Our efforts focus on cultivating strong friendships and partnerships for our pupils to transition alongside, as well as fostering resilience and adaptability to prepare them for the challenges of attending larger schools with older students. As a result, our students have an excellent track record of gaining admission to their first-choice secondary schools.
