Welcome To New Year 7 Students

We hope this page helps to answer some of the questions that commonly arise for both parents and students during the transition from primary to secondary school.

Much of the information included here can also be found elsewhere on the school website; however, it has been brought together in one place for ease of reference.

We encourage you to take the time to read the Information Booklet, which covers a wide range of important topics, including how to contact the school, the equipment needed for school, locker allocation, the academic and pastoral structure, SEND provision, and how to access the Arbor and ParentPay systems for student information, meals, and trips.

Below is a summary of the key transition events:

• 29th June – Year 6 into 7 Parent/Carer Information Evening

• 2nd July – Year 6 into 7 Transition Day

• 3rd September – Year 7 start school (all other lower school students return the following day)

• 23rd September – Meet the Mentor 

• 28th/29th September – Year 7 Lower Grange Farm Trip
