Transfer to Secondary School

Secondary Transition from Year 6

At Shears Green Junior School, we recognise that the transition from Year 6 to secondary school is a significant milestone in our pupils' educational journey. We are dedicated to ensuring that this transition is as smooth and supportive as possible. To prepare our pupils for the challenges ahead, we provide a comprehensive transition programme that includes tailored support for individual needs, opportunities for pupils to visit their new secondary schools, and workshops focused on developing essential skills. Our dedicated staff work closely with secondary school colleagues to share vital information about each pupil's progress and needs, ensuring a seamless handover. We aim to equip our pupils with the confidence and resilience necessary to thrive in their new learning environments, fostering a positive attitude towards their next chapter in education. 

As part of our commitment to ensuring a smooth transition to secondary education, we maintain formal feeder arrangements with our two nearest local secondary schools - Northfleet School for Girls and Northfleet Technology College. Pupil attending our school receive priority entrance status when applying to these schools.
