Moving from primary to secondary school is an important time for children and their families as they start an exciting new chapter. We are looking forward to getting to know our next cohort of Year 7 students and supporting them through the transition process. It is also understandably a time of uncertainty for some students. This is totally normal during a time of change, and we want to make sure all children feel prepared and ready to start at Ecclesfield.  A Welcome Booklet is sent to all Year 6 students on National Offer Day to provide a warm welcome to Ecclesfield School. The booklet is designed to answer some of the key questions families may have during this exciting time and marks the beginning of communication between families and the school as students transition from primary to secondary education.


All students will visit our school for two days on Wednesday 30th June and Thursday 1st July 2027 to help children get to know our school and to feel confident and excited to get started. We also offer a programme of additional support for children and families who will benefit from this. 

If you have any questions about transition, our transition team will be happy to help. Please contact our team via email: transition@ecclesfield-mlt.org.uk
