Year 6 Transition
Welcome
I write to welcome you to Gospel Oak School and introduce myself as the Executive Principal. I am delighted that
you have chosen to send your son/daughter to us and look forward to seeing him/her flourish and succeed as he/she
grows into a young adult during his/her seven years with us.
Your son/daughter only gets one main chance of an education, one main chance to flourish and prepare for adult life. We will strive to give him/her the very best because it is what every student deserves.
Over the next few months, staff from Gospel Oak School will be visiting the primary schools to discuss curriculum and pastoral issues. Experience shows that transition arrangements are crucial to helping students make a successfull start to their time at Gospel Oak School.
We will be holding Year 6 to 7 transition days for students on Wednesday 2nd and Thursday 3rd July and a New Intake Evening for you on Thursday 3rd July. We will also hold open mornings for students that have not had the opportunity to visit the school yet. The precise details about these events will be sent to you nearer the time.
In the meantime, if you have any questions about the transition arrangements, please contact Mr Hickinbottom (Assistant Principal).
I look forward to meeting you on Thursday 3rd July.
Yours sincerely,
Mr S Brownlow
Executive Principal

At Gospel Oak, we believe the best way to understand our school is to hear directly from the students themselves.
