A guide to Year 6 Information Whilst we wait for further advice and guidance we will

keep you informed of when we will be providing an

opportunity to meet with key members of staff at Chaucer

School, ask any questions you may have and to discuss

the school’s key expectations.

This may be arranged as a ’drop in’ series of meetings to

make sure we all keep safe and well in light of the current

situation.

Please continue to monitor the website.

This opportunity will allow you to hear from the

Headteacher, Mr Scott Burnside and Mrs Alyson Tolley,

Assistant Headteacher for Support & Transition.

Transition Days

Whilst we wait for advice on how schools will be re-

opened we continue to plan for a transition

experience for all Y6 pupils. However, this may differ

from the original published dates.

In addition, once it is safe for schools to open we will

be planning some additional transition for students

identified by their primary school as requiring some

additional support with their transition.

Once we have more information we will share this with

you.

Don’t forget if you have any queries about transition

you can email us at
