From primary school to Ibstock School (key stage two to key stage three)

At Ibstock School we aim to ensure that transition from key stage 2 to key stage 3 is as smooth and stress free as possible.

Transitions from primary to secondary schools can be a scary prospect for some students. We want our students and parents to feel that in preparation for their induction days and the beginning of year 7, they are fully informed, assured and excited about the move.

We start making visits to our feeder primary schools around February when we speak to all year 6 students about life at Ibstock School. This includes information about uniform, transport, timetables, tutor groups, extra-curricular activities and induction day information. The students also have an opportunity to ask questions.

Following this year 6 teachers, the parents / carers and the students are asked to complete online forms.. The information given is crucial in helping us to get to know the student, to place them in the right tutor group with a suitable group of friends and to prepare us for any additional educational, social or medical needs.

Students transferring from smaller primary schools or those living out of catchment will have the opportunity to attend an after school event where they will be able to meet with other students in similar positions to themselves. They will have the chance to look around the school, meet some members of staff and do an activity while making new friends.

Any students requiring extra support with transition will also have the chance for separate visits prior to the induction days.
