Transfer to secondary school - act soon!

The process for filling in the common application form which is handled by the local authority and coordinates the transfer from primary to secondary schools is about to begin. This seems to have been an earlier and earlier feature of life for year 6 pupils and their families and is certainly something not to be overlooked.

How can I find out about secondary school selection procedures?

Your school should be able to provide you with a booklet outlining the options open to you as your child nears the end of their Primary School. This is produced by the local authority and is, in many authorities, already available. Additionally, many schools will run an information evening for parents, often attended by the admissions department of the local authority. Often this will be available to Year 5 parents during the summer term.
