How we ensure your child makes a successful transition to Montgomery During the summer term before your child transfers to Montgomery in Year 7, a member of the Student Support Centre Team will visit primary schools to ensure a smooth transition. This enables information to be shared which is then passed onto the teaching staff at Montgomery, so that they are aware of the needs of the students. All families are invited in to a special Parents’ Evening focusing on transition from Primary to Secondary School where they meet for the first time their son/daughter’s Group Tutor. All Year 6 pupils are invited to spend a week at Montgomery where they meet their fellow pupils, their Group Tutors and experience some lessons. Additional visits to Montgomery are made by students and their parents/carers if this is felt necessary, especially if they have additional needs or are vulnerable or are lacking in confidence. At any time during a child’s primary school life, parents/carers may contact school to arrange a visit and to meet with the SENCo. During September, parents/carers are invited to attend an ‘Introduction Evening’ presented by the Year 7 Progress Manager and SLT regarding school systems, which the SENCo also attends.
