Common Transfer Day – Thursday 25th June 2026
Annwyl Parents and Carers,
On Thursday 25th June, we will be holding our annual Common Transfer Day. This is an important opportunity for children to spend time in their new classes and meet the staff who will be teaching them in September. This includes our current Nursery class who can spend the whole day in school!
We understand that moving to a new class can bring a mixture of excitement and nervousness. Please be reassured that staff have spent considerable time carefully planning class organisation and have considered a wide range of factors when making decisions. These include friendship groups, academic and social needs, relationships with staff, class sizes and ensuring the best possible learning environment for all children.
While we appreciate that children may not always be placed with every friend they would choose, we have worked hard to ensure that each child is placed in a class where they can thrive, develop positive relationships and continue to make excellent progress.
To help the day run smoothly, parents are asked to prebook their child’s meal online using ParentPay. Nursery parents can also do this by logging into their accounts.
Parents play a vital role in helping children prepare for this change. We encourage you to speak positively about the transition, listen to any concerns your child may have and focus on the exciting opportunities that a new class, teacher and learning experiences will bring. Children often take their lead from the adults around them, and a positive approach can greatly help to reduce any worries they may have.
There will be no change to drop off and collection points/times.
Please note that separate arrangements are in place for our Year 6 pupils who will be transferring to high school. Parents should have received communication directly from their child’s high school regarding transition activities and arrangements.
We are looking forward to a successful Common Transfer Day and helping all children feel confident and excited about the next stage of their learning journey.
Thank you for your continued support.
Kind regards,
Mrs Billington
