Transition

Welcome to Penketh High School!

 

We are delighted to be able to welcome our new Year 7 cohort to Penketh High School in September 2022.

 

A successful transition is vital in supporting all children in adapting to life in secondary school and thus we now consider our new year 7 cohort as part of the Penketh High School community and we will aim to support you in whatever way we can.

We have provided information on this page to help you start preparing your transition journey. We will endeavour to provide all necessary information here, however, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us in school.
