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
We would love to learn a bit more about our future Year 7 students in their own words and would be grateful if they could complete the “All About Me” form by Friday 23rd May. Please click on the link below to access the "All About Me" form:
