Year 6 Transition

We are delighted to be welcoming children who are starting at Saint Francis Xavier School in September 2021.

Here you will find lots of information and updates about our transition programme from primary school to starting at St Francis Xavier School.

Our Parents Information Evening for Year 6 Transition is currently scheduled for Thursday 8th July 2021 and our Transition Day for Year 6 children will be on Monday 12th July 2021. We very much hope that these events will still be able to take place. However, we will keep you updated as we know more nearer the time. Please see more information about the pastoral team.

We have a dedicated e-mail address for any queries about transition. If you have any questions about transition or would like a member of the pastoral team to contact you about your child then please e-mail Year6@sfxschool.org.uk and we will get back to you as soon as we are able to.

Transition memory

 The thing I was most worried about was making friends because I am a very shy person and if I could go back in time and say one thing to myself when I started school it would be: 

Everything will be OK because in not a long time you will have really lovely friends who you can count on and I'm very lucky to have them. 

Also the other thing I was worried about was if the teachers were OK or not because I'm very shy, as you know, but I didn't need to worry because all the teachers were nice and friendly and very supportive! 

I hope that helps some of the new year sixes! Remember there's really nothing to worry about!
