At Bedminster Down School in south Bristol, all students and teachers from within the school’s learning partnership have the opportunity to spend a whole week learning about secondary school life during term six each year.
Now in its fourth year, the scheme involves teachers working together to deliver an all-round positive and hassle-free experience of moving to secondary school.
Planning for our September students starts in the October before they are due to arrive. I lead a working group including a head of house, a SENCO lead and a representative from senior leadership to start looking at what has worked well for our current intake, anything new on the horizon for next September, and how we are resourced to manage 150 year 6s who will arrive in school for a week in term six.
