New starters- What to Expect
Moving up to Secondary school requires them to be more independent, to mix with students from other schools and to form relationships with many teachers instead of just one.
The transition from primary to secondary school can be an intimidating prospect for children. We recognise the challenges this can bring and apply a carefully planned and thought-out induction process to cater for the needs of all students.
Proposed Secondary Admissions Policy 2026-27
There is a requirement for our Trust, which is its own admitting authority to consult upon their forthcoming admission arrangements, as laid out in School Admissions Code - September 2021.
The White Horse Federation is carrying out consultation in relation to our Secondary school's Admissions Arrangements for 2026/27. The consultation period is now open and will end on the Wednesday 11th December 2024. Please review our Proposed Secondary Admissions policy attached.
If you wish to raise any concerns or have any questions, please contact: [email protected] before the consultation end date.
A copy of this "proposed" policy will be published our Trust and Secondary school's websites.
