The transition from primary to secondary school can be as worrying for parents as it is exciting for the children Here at St Thomas More we work hard to make this process as worry free for parents as possible The following comments are from parents who attended transition meetings held in school

It was useful to meet teachers and staff from the secondary school within a small group It’s such a big step it puts my mind at rest knowing there is lots of support for them

It gave me the opportunity to meet with the pastoral support before my child started the school I will now know who to contact if I need to speak to someone in the secondary school I found it useful

St Thomas More offers an excellent induction programme for both the children and parents starting in reception The following comments are just some of the positive feedback we have received from parents who took part

Very good and informative Nice to meet other parents Very helpful Fantastic, very friendly and informative, Thank You!

A good opportunity to get to know everything about the school in one session Dinner was lovely and the teachers were very helpful School seems very keen to have parents input which is really good

Very useful for parents, I was given lots of information about reception and how the children are taught Induction meeting was great with the right amount of information, topped off by a great lunch

It is always pleasing to receive positive feedback however, we understand sometimes we don’t get things right for everyone In these circumstances comments are followed up individually in an attempt to rectify any issues We value your opinions!
