Year 6 into 7 Transition Information

Welcome

Hello, my name is Mr Sturgess and I am the Director of Student Services. On behalf of the transition team I would like to say how much we are looking forward to you joining the Manor School family, and we hope you are too. We have the most amazing Pastoral team here at Manor to look after you.

We have included some transition exercises to keep you busy, and there are also some important forms we would like you to complete with your parents/carers. Please keep checking back for any more transition updates on this page.

September arrangements

For information about the arrangements we have in place for starting in school, please see our dedicated page here. We also have a FAQ document and an information video.

Equipment guidance for students

• Students may bring a bag with them to school with their belongings in it.
• Students are expected to bring their own stationery equipment. We recommend students bring: two pens, a pencil, a ruler and their calculator for maths/science lessons.
• Students will not be lent equipment and nor should students be lending or sharing equipment with other students.
• There will be no access to lockers because students will not be able to leave the zone their pod is allocated to at any point during the school day. However, students are based in one area of the school throughout the day, which will make storing items such as PE kit much easier to accommodate.

Students

We know that your primary school has provided lots of work for you to be getting on with but we have also included some tasks to help with the transition to secondary school. These are not to replace your school work but to help keep you busy before starting Manor School in September. Please keep any tasks you complete and bring them with you on your first day of school, we would love to see them!
