Transition from Year 6 to 7 begins in Year 5 when parents and pupils are invited to begin looking at local secondary school tours to find out more to make a decision about the next stage of education.
Applications for secondary schools open in September and close in October of the year when your child is in year 6.
Notifications of places are released in March. From this point, we are able to begin working with the secondary schools to ensure a smooth transition for your child.
The transition programme will vary from school to school in terms of visits and content. As a Junior school, we ensure we communicate with every child’s secondary school, sharing learning and social and emotional information to support a smooth and effective transition.
Throughout the summer term of Year 6, we embark on a transition unit of work in school to support the children as they move forward. Our Year 6 teacher and leader, Mrs Holmes, leads transition for Year 6 to 7. If you have any questions or queries, please do not hesitate to contact her via the school office or email at admin@ranvilles-jun.hants.sch.uk. We wish your child every success as they move to secondary school.
