Post for all year 5 & 6 Primary school Parents & Carers

We would like to warmly welcome you to the year 5 & 6 Next Steps Open Evening here at TCS on Thursday 3^rd October 4.30-6.30pm.

This is an fantastic opportunity to come and visit us at the Exeter Road site and see what we have to offer. The evening will involve two talks from our Headteacher, Mrs Wickham (please follow the booking link below or on the attached invite, to book your time slot). Parents will be free to come onto the premises from 4.30pm onwards to tour & explore the site (when not in the talk with Mrs Wickham). This will be a great opportunity to visit various subject areas, meet & talk to teaching staff and also meet some of our fantastic students.

Language Choice

All Year 7 students are assigned a Modern Foreign Language to study when they start TCS. Students study either French or Spanish. If your child has a specific reason that they need to study a particular language (e.g bilingual) please click on the form to let us know. We anticipate that most students will not have a preference. We know that some students study a language at primary school, however our MFL team are well equipped to support students from a range of different starting points. There is no requirement that students study the same language as in Year 6. Any requests for languages need to be completed via the form by 22nd April 2024.

Parent guidance for supporting KS2-3 Transition

We recognise that the transition to Secondary school can seem daunting to some pupils (and parents!) and we work hard to support pupil welfare through the process. If you would like some wider independent support the following links contain some valuable resources for both parents and children:

The Anna Freud Centre for Children and Families offer lots of useful advice to families on a variety of topics but their specific school transition guidance can be accessed here: annafreud.org

There are also some excellent resources on the BBC website that can be shared with children and include celebrities offering tips and advice: BBC Bitesize
