Year 7 Transition
At George Green's School, we understand that transitioning from primary school to secondary school is a significant step in a child’s educational journey. We are dedicated to making this transition as smooth and supportive as possible. Our aim is to ensure every pupil feels confident and prepared for their new school experience.
Please read through the guide below, created to provide you with all necessary information for your child's smooth transition to Year 7 and our school.
The Transition Day
To facilitate this process, we host a Transition Day in July. This day is designed to ease the move from primary to secondary school. On Transition Day, students will have the opportunity to meet their new classmates, explore the school environment, and participate in interactive activities. This experience allows pupils to familiarise themselves with the school layout and discover the varied learning opportunities that await them.
In addition to Transition Day, our school staff will meet with all pupils and their parents/carers prior to the start of the academic year. During these meetings, we will discuss each student’s individual needs and preferences, ensuring we carefully consider the best way to support them. A crucial part of this process involves thinking about the form groups in which students will be placed.
Recognising that some students may require additional support, we offer extra transition days tailored specifically for those with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) and other pupils who might benefit from further assistance. These additional transition days provide an opportunity for targeted support, enabling students to build relationships with staff and peers while addressing any specific concerns they may have about the upcoming transition.
At George Green's School, we are committed to providing a nurturing and inclusive environment for all our students. Our comprehensive transition program reflects our understanding that everyone comes with unique strengths and challenges. We aim to support each pupil in developing the confidence and resilience needed to thrive in their new school setting.
We look forward to welcoming our new Year 7 students to the George Green's School community and are excited to guide them through this important transition.Together, we can create a smooth pathway to secondary school that sets the foundation for successful and fulfilling educational experiences.
