The letter is posted below, and also outlines all transition resources available on our website (including more introductory videos like this one), details about our return to school in September 2020 in line with national guidelines, and contact details if you wish to get in touch with us.

Thank you for attending our transition Q&A!
Many thanks to everyone who took part in the Transition Q&A session earlier this term. It was a brilliant event and a great opportunity to interact with our new students.
Hosted by our Senior Leadership Team and Transition team, it was very well attended with all the questions and answers now found in the PDF document below, or in the Transition section of our website.
Whilst there, you’ll find our Be Awesome, Go Big package which students can enjoy as part of our Virtual Transition Programme this year. We’ve also added a folder to our Transition section which includes some lessons which you can enjoy at home. If you have any further questions relating to transition, please email [email protected].
