Transition to Secondary School


Transitioning to secondary school is a significant milestone for our Year 6 pupils and their families. We are committed to supporting you through this important process to ensure a smooth and successful transition.

The deadline for Year 6 families to apply for a secondary school place is 31st October via Stockport Council. It is essential to submit your application by this date to secure a place at one of your preferred schools.

We encourage families to explore the options available by visiting the websites of local secondary schools, and to attend open evenings where possible. This will provide you with valuable insights into each school’s ethos, curriculum, and facilities, helping you make an informed decision for your child’s next stage of education.

To assist Year 6 families in navigating the transition process, we have prepared a PowerPoint presentation. This resource outlines key steps, important dates, and tips for making the application process as straightforward as possible:
