New Intake

New Intake September 2024

Moving up to secondary school can be an emotional time for pupils. Some feel positively about it and can’t wait to start; others are more anxious and nervous. We have therefore put together a comprehensive transition process that ensures that the move between primary and secondary school is a supported, personalised, and smooth process that recognises the needs of each individual pupil.
