Transition

Transition Process

The transition between primary school and secondary school can be daunting for young people and their parents. At Charnwood College we do all that we can to make this process smooth by getting to know each student as well as possible during the months before term begins in August. From a student's first visit, to their induction days in July, we stay in touch and can help with any issues, questions or worries that they or their parent may have. We visit the young people in their primary school and speak to their teachers, we look at their work and really get a picture of what we can do to make students feel that moving on to secondary school is part of a continuation of their education, rather than a completely new set of experiences and challenges.

Induction Days - Thursday 1st and Friday 2nd July 2027

We are pleased to inform parents that our Induction Days for students joining in 2027 will take place on 1st and 2nd July 2027. These important days will provide students with the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the school, meet staff and fellow students, and begin their transition with confidence. Further information will be shared with families closer to the date.

If your child requires additional support, our Assistant SENDCo will liaise with the primary school and arrange for your child to visit the school before the induction days.

Our Head of Year 7 (Miss Gregory), our Assistant SENDCo and our office staff are always available should you have any questions, on office@charnwoodcollege.org
