Transition 2025 Information

Transition Day Thursday 3rd July

Dear Parent/Carer

Congratulations on receiving your place at Werneth School, in the class of 2030! Year 7 is a very exciting time and we have a wealth of opportunities to offer.

During the next few weeks the transition team will be visiting most of the primaries to meet with pupils and we are looking forward to getting to know all of our new starters before they join in September. We hope to ensure a smooth and positive transition process for pupils, parents and carers.

We would like to invite you in for a Transition Day and Induction Evening on Thursday 3rd July to see the school, meet staff and find out about the opportunities we have on offer at Werneth in preparation for starting school in September.

Transition Day (pupils only)

Pupils must wear their primary school uniform.
Pupils need to arrive by 8.30am to register on the tennis courts at the side of school.
The normal school day ends at 3.10pm however Year 6 pupils will be dismissed at 3pm to ensure they get space on the bus or out of school before the rest of the school is dismissed. If you pick up please don’t enter the school premises and arrange a pick up place off site.
All Year 6 pupils will be able to board the school bus free of charge.
All pupils should bring their own equipment - at least a pen, pencil and ruler.
If pupils have medication it must be clearly labelled and handed in at the main office with instructions for use on the day.
Pupils will undertake a range of lessons during the day and will be supported by current Year 7 students and Year 10 Senior Students.
If you need to report absence on the day please use your normal reporting system to your child’s primary school. If your child does not arrive to us we will contact their primary school.
Pupils are asked to bring a packed lunch with them as food will not be able to be purchased during the school day. Also, we advise that they bring something to drink and eat for breaktime. We will provide lunches for those eligible for Free School Meals, please email transition@wernethschool.com if you require this.

Induction Evening

During our Year 6 Induction Evening you will have the opportunity to meet key members of staff and find out about our systems, expectations and curriculum. The evening will consist of a short presentation and then break out rooms which will offer more opportunities to ask questions.
