Primary School Liaison
Arrangements for admission to secondary school are normally made between the primary school attended by the child, the secondary school and the Authority in the Spring and Summer Terms preceding the date of transfer. Arrangements are made on the assumption that pupils will attend the normal catchment secondary school for their home area unless an application is made for an alternative.
The school has good links with all its feeder primary school and everything possible is done to make the transition from the primary to secondary school as smooth as possible. Regular meetings take place each term between staff from John Beddoes School and the primary schools to ensure continuity.
All pupils due to transfer in September spend at least two days at John Beddoes School in July, and this is followed with a new intake parents evening. The members of staff most directly concerned with this are Miss S Dyke (Learning Manager Year 7) and Mrs J Washington (Senior Teacher) from whom further information may be obtained.
