Year 6 into 7 Transition

Welcome to The Deepings School!

We are thrilled to be welcoming your child to our vibrant and dynamic community. At The Deepings School, we are committed to creating an environment where students feel happy, safe, and supported. I understand that starting secondary school is a huge change for our students, and everyone at the school is dedicated to making the transition as smooth, exciting, and enjoyable as possible.

The move from primary school to secondary school is a huge change for both children and their parents. We recognise that to have a smooth and successful start to Year 7 it is key to provide you with all the information you need. Please take some time to explore our Year 6 - Year 7 transition information, and remember we have a dedicated transition team here to help you with any further queries.

We are working closely with all primary schools to ensure the transition from primary to secondary school is as smooth as possible. We firmly believe that by offering an early induction day, this will allow students to be less apprehensive about starting the next phase of their educational journey.
