Transition – Class of 2026
For Information
We are preparing our virtual events for those pupils starting with us in September 2021. Details of upcoming events will be shared here.
We are so sad to not be able to invite you to visit your new school at the moment but we still want to get to know you and can’t wait for you to be official members of our school community.
I know that there are going to be areas of worry for you and I would love to be able to give you some definite dates when we will all meet but at the moment I just don’t know.
Please keep an eye on this page for information around:
- Dates for you to come and visit
- Dates for parents and carers to visit
- Uniform Information
- Work you can do to prepare for your new school
