Transition to Thomas Estley
When transferring from Key Stage 2 to Thomas Estley, we liaise closely with the Primary Schools to ensure the transition is as supportive as possible. There are the opportunity for small group visits, Inclusion fun days, and extra opportunities to introduce them to College life in a encouraging and caring way. We focus strongly on preparing our young people for further study and adult life.
