Year 6 Transition 2025

We are delighted that you have been allocated a place with us for September 2025!

Emails have been sent home with information packs and some forms to complete. Some parents have found these in their junk/spam folders. Please search for 'Emmbrook' or 'Applicaa' in these folders to find them.

Wednesday 25th June 2024 (8.30 am – 2.30 pm) - Induction Day 

This day is a significant event in the transfer process for all our Year 6 children.  They will experience an active secondary school day and meet senior members of staff. Unless your child’s primary school has made special arrangements for children to come collectively, parents are asked to bring their children in by 8.30 am.  (As a matter of Health & Safety, please do not drive onto the school site to either drop off or to collect your child).  

Your child should wear their primary school uniform.  A free lunch will be provided by our canteen staff, but students may bring a packed lunch if they prefer. Your child will also need something to write with during the day. Members of staff and current students will be waiting to meet your child along the school drive.  

To assist us during this busy time, we would be grateful if you could leave them with one of the helpers and do not follow them into the Main Hall. The day ends at 2.30 pm; please wait outside the school gates and your child will be sent out to meet you.  If your child is to go home with siblings who are already at The Emmbrook, please ensure you tell them to collect their brother or sister from the Main Hall at 2.55 pm. 

If you wish your child to go home with a friend or older student who is not a family member, please let Mr Johnson have this in writing or by email prior to the Induction Day  ([email protected]). We hope the children have an enjoyable and positive day.

Wednesday 25th June 2024 (6.30pm) – New Parents’ Information Evening

This event begins at 6.30pm in the Main Hall and will last approximately 1 hour. Please do not bring your child to this event.

Message from Mr McSweeney:

Dear New Year 7 Parents and Carers,

I am delighted to welcome you to The Emmbrook Family. We are very much looking forward to meeting you and your children in the coming months. 

As a Headteacher, it is important to me that I am accessible to all members of our community. The website will hopefully provide all the information you need about the school and will be updated regularly but if I can be of any further assistance then please contact me ([email protected]).

I also encourage you to follow our Facebook page to keep up to date with the exciting opportunities we offer the students: https://www.facebook.com/Emmbrookschool 

There is also a Facebook group where all parents of Year 7 2025-26 can join to share information and make connections before term starts: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3914746648763701

Transition to secondary school is an exciting time and I look forward to sharing the journey with you all. 

Best wishes,

Nick McSweeney
