Year 6 Transition Summer School

We understand that making the move from primary to secondary school can be daunting for pupils, and our Summer School aims to help the children to begin to familiarise themselves with our school site and some of our staff, as well as providing an opportunity to meet some of their new cohort.

Each day includes a number of different activities, and we place the children in activity groups based on which Tutor Group they will join when they move up in September. The adults are mostly school staff and the activities take place across the school site. We hope this will help the children to begin to form friendships and find familiar faces, and places, at the start of term.

The activities have an educational element, but the focus is on having fun and getting to know the school in a more casual setting. Children and staff alike wear comfortable clothes appropriate for the activities, giving a less formal atmosphere.
