Primary Transition - Entering into year 7

At Frogmore, we believe that students flourish when they feel recognised, valued and supported from the very start. For many years, we have worked closely with our local primary schools to develop a well-established transition programme that helps students move confidently from primary to secondary school.

Through a wide range of opportunities to visit Frogmore, and by taking our staff and ‘taster lessons’ into the familiar setting of primary classrooms, students gain confidence not only in the new environment they are moving into, but also in the academic routines and expectations they will encounter.
