Resources To Help
The transition from primary to secondary school can be a little daunting. As a school, we do our best to make the transition as smooth as possible. Visits to local secondary schools are arranged and we provide lessons and pastoral support to help our pupils prepare for their move. There are many sites providing ways in which to help parents, including the ffollowing:
