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
