Rowan High
The transition to Rowan High School is an important step in supporting pupils as they move from their current setting into the next stage of their education. A well-planned transition process helps to ensure that students feel confident, informed, and prepared for the changes ahead. This typically includes opportunities for pupils to visit the school, meet key staff, and become familiar with the environment, routines, and expectations they will experience.
Alongside these visits, effective transition work also involves clear communication between schools, sharing relevant information about individual pupils’ needs, strengths, and support strategies. This allows Rowan High School to put appropriate provision in place from the outset, ensuring continuity of support. Where possible, additional activities such as induction days or targeted transition sessions can further help pupils build relationships and reduce any anxiety, promoting a smooth and positive start to their time at the school.
Please find below example documentation that will be received to support with your child's transition to our school.
Please contact Miss Clayton the Deputy Headteacher at Rowan High School with any questions regards to transition and she will be happy to help.
