Primary Transition
Year 6 Transition September 2026
We recognise that the move from primary school to secondary school is a big one – often for parents and carers as much as for the pupils.
Our extensive transition programme allows us to make the process a positive and exciting experience for our pupils. We will do all we can to allow Year 6 pupils to gain a real insight into being a Houstone School pupil before they join us in September.
Our positive links with primary schools in the local area and beyond allow us to create a seamless transition for your child ensuring that pupils entering Year 7 settle in quickly and with ease.
Please ensure that you keep up to date with all our parent and carer communication via our website. Click here for our latest newsletters and End of Year Arrangements letter with important information.
