Year 6 to 7 Progression Evening

Over the coming months, the Secondary team are looking forward to getting to know the current Year 6 students as they navigate their way from Primary School to Year 7.

On Tuesday we hosted a Year 6 into 7 Progression Evening for parents. The event, led by Mr. Lowe and Mrs. Baker, provided further information about the Secondary School, and information included guidance about pastoral care, timetabling and expectations. A special thank you to our wonderful Year 7 helpers who spoke so eloquently and answered lots of questions about their experiences.

Following this evening, our Year 6 students will participate in our progression programme, which will take place over the coming months. We have several exciting workshops and activities planned, which will give our Year 6 students the chance to learn about the wonderful opportunities that will be offered to our Year 7 students next year.

The day began with a powerful moment of unity, as we gathered onto the school field to form a large "WCD" for a group photo, while our Primary School students sang *‘We Are the World’* under the direction of Miss. Keane on the piano and Mr. Quigley orchestrating away. This heartfelt performance highlighted the spirit of collaboration and hope for a brighter future for children everywhere.
