Transition 2025

Welcome to all our new Year 7 Families!

We are delighted that you and your child have chosen Orleans Park School for this exciting next stage in their education. Moving from primary to secondary school is a big step, and we want to make sure that both students and families feel informed, supported, and confident as they embark on this journey with us.

This section of our website has been designed especially for families like yours, helping to answer any questions you may have about the transition from Year 6 to Year 7. We understand that starting a new school can bring a mix of emotions such as excitement, curiosity, and perhaps a few nerves, and we are here to make the process as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

To help with this, we have gathered all the key information you need in one place. Below, you will find:

• Our Year 7 Handbook, packed with useful details about life in Year 7, key information and expectations.
• Our school film, that gives you a glimpse into life at Orleans Park and what makes our school such a great place to learn.
• Admissions information to ensure you are up to date with everything you need to know before September.
• A special welcome from our Headteacher, sharing our school values and what you can look forward to as part of our community.
• Our curriculum provision for Year 7 and what you can expect to learn.
• A dedicated communication area, where you will find all letters and updates we send to our new Year 7 families between now and the start of the school year in September. 

We encourage you to explore these resources. Starting secondary school is an exciting new chapter, and we are here to support you every step of the way.

If you have any questions about the transition process, admissions, or school life in general, please do not hesitate to reach out. You can contact us at admissions@orleanspark.school for transition-related queries or reception@orleanspark.school for general school enquiries.

We look forward to welcoming you to Orleans Park School and cannot wait for you to become part of our wonderful school community.
