The journey to middle school
At Linslade, we appreciate that changing schools is both exciting and - in some respects - daunting. The journey from lower to middle school at the end of Year 4 may well be the biggest change the children (and their parents/ carers) will experience in their school life. The same can be said of the change of school at the end of Year 6.
Pupils will be invited to our two transfer days in July. We also have schemes such as 'Footsteps' to support any children who may be especially anxious about taking their next step.
The parents and carers of our prospective Year 5 pupils will be invited to an information evening in June, where they will receive a 'Welcome Pack' and have the opportunity to spend some time with their child's new form tutor. We will also invite you to a 'Welcome Assembly' at the end of the children's first full week with us.
Many children will be ready for the change, whilst others will be nervous. We understand this and work hard to promote close links with our partner lower schools in an effort to try to reduce any anxieties you and your child may have.

Once you have made the decision to join us at Linslade, we will write to you and your child at regular intervals in order to support you as you continue your journey to middle school. We have already opened up a dedicated email address for you to make contact in the event of any questions or concerns: newentry20 I 7@linsladeac.co.uk
In the case of pupils joining us in other years, we will do all we can to make your transition as smooth as possible, including arranging taster mornings/days in order to help you to learn a little more about our school before you start in September. We will also invite you to come along to our two transition days.
