Moving from Year 6 into Year 7 

The move to secondary school can be an exciting, and sometimes daunting experience for pupils and indeed parents/carers. At St Cuthbert's, we work very closely with our feeder primary schools to ensure that the transition is as smooth as possible. We have a range of transition activities during Year 5 and Year 6 to help pupils become more familiar with life at St Cuthbert's and interact with their peers.

The academic transition of pupils is of great importance to us. Curriculum leaders and teaching staff at St Cuthbert's work very closely with staff in our primaries to develop a good understanding of the Key Stage 2 curriculum and the abilities of the boys. We gather a wide range of information from Year 6 teachers to ensure that the academic transition is as seamless as possible.

As well as academic transition, we want to know about your son as a person, an individual. We are committed to the 'formation of the whole person', to 'forming great men'. In June each year we visit our Feeder Primary Schools with staff and pupils from Year 9 or 10. It is important that each pupil hears about life at St Cuthbert's from an older pupil. We also have Sixth Form buddies to help your son at the start of Year 7. 

Summer School

In the first week of the summer holidays we will be running our 'Summer School'. Please sign up here.

The cost for Summer School 2024 is £40. This covers all four days. Unfortunately, we are not able to reduce the cost if your son is unable to attend all of the Summer School.   

Payment should be made in Main Reception by Thursday 18th July 2024. Reception will be open for payments each day until 3.55pm. You will have the opportunity to make the payment on the New Intake Evening on Thursday 11th July 2024 if you so wish.

Please note that all applications for a place at Summer School 2024 must be made by 3pm on Friday 12th July 2024.
