Moving from Year 6 into Year 7

transition

Welcome to Bramcote College. We are proud to have a well-established and successful transition programme which ensures that all our students can begin Year 7 feeling calm, settled and knowing the school, their tutors and peers well.

Primary School Visits

In the summer term, all Year 6 students who have a place with us are visited at their primary school by a member of our Key Stage 3 team. This allows them to ask any questions they have, and ensures that they have a friendly face to meet them on our induction days in July. We also use these visits to speak to Year 6 teachers so that we have all the information we need to ensure a smooth transition.

Students with SEN

We work closely with all primary schools and with the Family SENCo to ensure that the correct funding and support is in place for students who have Special Educational Needs. If you would like to speak to us directly about the needs of your son or daughter, please do not hesitate to contact our SENCo, Mary Kirby, at This email address is being protected from spambots.

Transition Days

Our transition days will run this year on Tuesday 4th and Wednesday 5th July 2023. Students should wear their primary school uniform and arrive at school by 8:50am. A letter with full details will be sent out to parents nearer the time.

Information for parents

Information packs are sent to all parents once places are allocated. Our parents’ information evenings will be held on Tuesday 4th July 2023.
