Transition to Farnham Heath End

PRIMARY TRANSITION FROM YEAR 6 INTO YEAR 7

We believe a smooth and positive transition from primary to secondary school is essential for a child’s success and well-being.

At Farnham Heath End School (FHES), we aim to make this transition an exciting and supportive experience. Our goal is for every student to:

• Enjoy their time at FHES.
• Build strong friendships.
• Take advantage of a wide range of opportunities.
• Make excellent progress in their learning.
• Leave with happy memories and confidence for the future.

To ensure a seamless move to FHES, we:

• Hold informal tours of the school buildings and facilities for parents/carers and children.
• Visit partner primary schools to meet Year 6 students and their teachers.
• Hold information session for parents and students.
• Welcome children to FHES for two transition days in early July.
• Hold a Transition Induction meeting.

Our support continues once students start in September:

• We organise a team-building day in the autumn term.
• Our pastoral team stays in close contact to ensure every child feels happy and confident.
• We provide ongoing support to help students settle in and thrive at FHES.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to email us at transition@fhes.org.uk
