Transition Hub 2023




Joining us in Year 7
Transition from primary to secondary school is an exciting time for many children who look forward to this time with enthusiasm. The opportunity to experience countless new activities and lessons at a much larger school can spark a life-long interest, or even a career path. The atmosphere at Perins is welcoming, caring and supportive, making the transition process straightforward and as easy as possible. A confident and happy student is more likely to achieve his or her full potential, which is our aim as much as yours.
As soon as you have confirmed your child’s place we begin to get to know them, so by the time September comes they are familiar with their new surroundings and what is expected of them, this ensures that your child settles into this new phase of their education really easily.
Whilst you have already had your child’s place confirmed by Hampshire County Council, you will not receive a communication from the school until we receive all of the data from the County Council on the 17th March.
We will then be in touch with further details, including the laptop scheme, music tuition, and dates for your diary.
We have a comprehensive transition programme, including Information evenings, our ‘Meet the Tutor’ event and an Induction day, there are plenty of opportunities for you and your child to find out about life at Perins before the start of the autumn term. Do keep checking these pages as we will regularly be updating them.
