At St Patrick’s we believe transition is a crucial stage in a child’s education and a successful move from primary school will ensure they get the best possible opportunities throughout their journey through secondary school. We also recognise that it can be an exciting but challenging time for both pupils and their families. Therefore, we work closely with our partner primary schools to ensure all pupils can be as prepared as possible to begin the next step of their education properly and in the St Patrick’s way.
We are delighted you have chosen to send your child to St Patrick’s and we look forward to them joining us in September.
Our whole school Year 6 transition activities begin in the Summer Term:
✅ All pupils will be invited to a transition meeting with their parents.
✅ All pupils will be invited to attend transition days at St Patrick’s, where they will benfit from the opportunity to explore the school, participate in lessons with our fantastic teachers, get to know their peers and experience fun activities designed to help pupils feel part of the school community.
Pupils with individual needs will be offered a range of extra activities where appropriate.
These may include; additional visits to St Patrick’s and individual meetings with key school staff such as The SENDCO and Head of Year 7.
The transition team at St Patrick’s are dedicated to making sure that all pupils experience the best possible transition to secondary school. If you have any questions or queries please do not hesitate to contact us via email: stpatricks.rchighschool@salford.gov.uk or telephone: 0161 921 2300.
