Year 6 to 7 Transition at John Taylor High school
It is our aim that all students joining our school community feel confident about the many changes and new routines they will experience. We want to reassure you that we are keen to make the transition process as smooth as possible to ensure that the students feel safe, welcome, and supported.
Transition activities commence following the admission process and successfully securing a place at John Taylor High School.
