Transition to Secondary
Children in the Wigston area transfer to their next school at the end of Year 6 (age 11).
Currently, most of our children, on leaving year 6, mainly go to Beauchamp, Gartree and Wigston Academy. We work closely with their secondary colleagues to ensure a smooth and positive transfer of pupils to the next phase. Children with SEND are provided with additional visits, if required - these are organised by the secondary school and Glenmere staff hold discussions with relevant staff from the secondary school, to ensure information is passed on and a smooth and supportive transition takes place.
Parents’ meetings and open evenings are held, and most pupils spend one or two school days in their new school prior to transfer.
If you require further details on feeder requirements, please visit the individual secondary school websites.
Information regarding secondary school applications can be found here. The national closing date for applications is the 31st October.
