Transition to Farnham Heath End

PRIMARY TRANSITION FROM YEAR 6 INTO YEAR 7

We believe that a positive transition experience can set a child up to thrive and succeed at the next stage of their education. 

When students join Farnham Heath End School (FHES), they are starting, what we hope will be, an enjoyable and productive time during which they will make lots of friends, take advantage of varied opportunities and leave us having made excellent progress in learning, with many happy memories and well prepared for the next stage of their lives.

To make the transition to FHES as smooth as possible, we work with you prior to the students joining.  We meet the children and their year 6 teachers at assemblies in the linked partner primary schools, we invite parents and students to meet with us at the school and the children spend two whole days at FHES early in July.

Transition continues once the students join us in September with a team building day during the autumn term.  Our pastoral team will keep in touch and we will work to ensure your child is happy and confident at FHES. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to email us at transition@fhes.org.uk

We ask that all upcoming students complete an All About Me form by using the link below:

TRANSITION TO FHES AT ALL OTHER TIMES

Following the offer of a school place being sent, bespoke meetings are set up to meet with incoming students and their families to view the school and meet with the Head of Year for the relevant year group.

Should you have any further questions, please email Liz Crosby at lcrosby@wmat.org.uk or telephone 01252 733371 and choose the option for admissions.
