TRANSITION

Although we will be sorry to say goodbye to our wonderful Year 6, we know that their successful journey onwards starts here...

Secondary school applications are now open for September 2026.
Parents and carers are advised to submit applications on-time before 31 October 2025 for secondary school applications.
Secondary Admission
Children born between 1 September 2014 and 31 August 2015 are due to transfer to secondary school in September 2026.
Parents and carers will need to submit their application to the home Local Authority where their child lives.
We always recommend that parents and carers list up to the maximum of five preferences available and include at least one local school they believe their child would have qualified for in previous years.
The applications process is all online, and our school admissions team are hosting drop-in sessions this term to support parents and carers with any questions they have, so please do make use of the support available.
