Year 6 to 7 Transition
Welcome to Rossett School
Although the move from primary to secondary education can seem daunting, here at Rossett we endeavour to make it as smooth as possible aided by our excellent liaison and transition programme. Key Rossett staff visit our primary feeder schools to meet with Year 6 students and there is a comprehensive events timeline for students and parents providing vital transitional information.

Induction Days
Over the two induction days, Year 6 students will experience lessons and break times, meeting staff and other students. There will be a variety of activities organised to allow us time to assess their strengths so that we are well prepared to meet their needs in September.
Some important information:
- It is the responsibility of parents / carers to transport children to and from Rossett School on Induction Days. It may be possible for children in Harrogate to catch a school bus and further information can be found on the North Yorkshire Council transport information website here.
- Parents who are driving their children to and from school are asked to use the Sports Centre car park (off Pannal Ash Road) for safety reasons, as the front of school is used by the school buses.
- Children should arrive at school between 8.25am and 8.40am and should make their way to the Blue Dining Hall. There will be staff and student guides available to escort the students at the main school entrance (for those travelling by school bus) and the Sports Centre entrance (for those being dropped off by car). Parents should not accompany their child onto the school site – the student guides will do this.
- Children should attend in their primary school uniform.
- A pair of trainers will be required for some activities during the two induction days.
- Children will need to bring their pencil case.
- Year 6 students will have their own dining room on the two induction days. Children should bring £10 in an envelope marked ‘school lunch’, with their name on it, this will cover the two days to allow them to sample what is on offer at break and lunch. It is possible for your child to bring their own snack/lunch if you prefer. Students in receipt of Free School Meals will be provided with lunch free of charge.
- The induction days will end at 3.00pm and those leaving by school bus will be escorted to and supervised at the appropriate waiting area at the front of school. Those expecting to be picked up by car will be escorted to and supervised at the Sports Centre car park.
