Year 6 Transition

Year Six into Year Seven

At Sweyne Park we recognise what a big step choosing a secondary school can be. Each year we review our practice to ensure we make the transition from primary school to secondary school as smooth and stress-free as possible. We have a highly experienced, dedicated team of staff supporting Year 7, including a permanent Head of Year 7, whose entire responsibility revolves around managing the move from primary to secondary and ensuring pupils are happy and successful at Sweyne Park from day one.

Year 6 Transition Links

PRIMARY LIAISON

For transitional ease

Our staff meet with your child’s Year 6 teachers, to share information on a range of areas. This includes meetings with pupils for a Q+A session.

INFORMATION EVENING

For Parents and Carers

This will take place early in the first term. The evening will provide families with strategies to help your child to fulfil their potential, including support at home within their studies.

Teachers from Sweyne Park School offer taster lessons in some local primaries (e.g. Design & Technology lessons)
