Prospectus- ADMISSION AND TRANSFER ARRANGEMENTS

ADMISSION AND TRANSFER ARRANGEMENTS

 

Our main objective is to ensure that all students transferring to us, whether from a Primary school or from another Secondary school, do so as smoothly and successfully as possible.

 

Parents of students transferring from another Secondary school are invited to telephone the Deputy Head, who will be pleased to explain procedures and arrange for a visit to the school.

 

At Chilton Trinity  we maintain very  close links with our feeder Primary schools and during the summer term, prior to transfer, the following induction programme takes place:

 

• the Student Support Co-ordinator, the Head of Year 7 and the Assistant Head with responsibility for Primary links visit all schools to meet Heads, Year 6 staff and the children themselves.

 

• Year 9 students are appointed as Ambassadors and visit Primary Schools to meet Year 6 children.  They also help them in the early days of Year 7 life at Chilton Trinity.

 

• an Induction Day is held in July for students to come to their new school, take part in lessons and meet other members of their tutor groups and the tutor.

• an Information evening follows this day, when Parents are given a detailed handbook outlining procedures.  They also have a chance to talk with the form tutor and other staff to share information and talk through any concerns.

• throughout the process, the Ambassadors are on hand to explain, help and guide.

• Year 11 Prefects are also allocated to Year 7 forms and a trained team of Year 10 Peer Listeners offer support.
