Transfer to and from Bilton Junior School

TRANSFER FROM INFANT SCHOOL 

We have very close links with our Infant partners to ensure that each child makes good educational progress on transfer to Junior school.

Infant children are invited to Bilton Juniors during the Summer Term. Year 3 teachers visit the Infant schools to meet their new pupils. Meetings are also arranged between Year 2 and 3 teachers to exchange information to ensure a smooth transfer for each child.

We have particularly close links with Bilton Infant and Bawnmore Infant Schools. The Headteachers of the schools meet regularly to ensure continuity for pupils. Joint training days for staff and governors are arranged to share expertise and learn new skills.

TRANSFER TO SECONDARY SCHOOL 

We aim to provide each child with the self-esteem, confidence and skills to enjoy and contribute to his/her secondary education. Close links are maintained with local secondary schools including visits and shared curriculum initiatives to promote a smooth transfer for every child. In Year 6 the children have a class teacher but are also taught by all the members of the Year 6 teaching team in preparation for life at secondary school.
