Taking the next step

Moving to secondary school is an important milestone for Sixth Class pupils. It brings new subjects, routines and friendships, alongside greater independence and responsibility.

We support pupils and families as they prepare for this next stage of their education.

The Education Passport

The Education Passport supports the sharing of information about your child’s learning with their chosen post-primary school.

It brings together the perspectives of pupils, parents and the school. This information is collated and forwarded to the new school to help support a smooth transition.

Getting to know secondary school

We offer information sessions with secondary schools in our catchment area to help pupils become familiar with their new school’s layout, rules and expectations.

These sessions help pupils prepare for a different learning environment and understand what to expect.

Supporting a confident transition

The transition process encourages independence, self-confidence and a sense of belonging.

Open communication between pupils, parents and school staff helps children feel supported as they prepare for this change.

Questions about the move?

Please contact the school if you would like to discuss your child’s transition to secondary school.
