Year 6 Transition

A Message From Mr Herbert, Assistant Principal

In my role as Assistant Principal, I will ensure that everything is done to provide students with the very best start to life at Birchwood. I believe the key to an effective transition is putting students' minds at rest and helping to allay their common fears of getting lost, being bullied, and getting too much home learning!

I want the children to experience the excitement they are entitled to: making new friends, taking new subjects, and exploring all the wonderful opportunities that we have to offer. I wish for those joining us each September to take their next steps in education with confidence and reassurance. I understand how important it is for our staff to build positive relationships with the students and this begins on that very first induction day. The journey is a different one for every student, and we will always do our very best to cater to every individual need.
