Starting School

Welcome to the starting school section of our website.  

My name is Mr Peachment and I am the Head of Achievement for Year 7.  It is a pleasure to support our pupils, alongside Ms Holbrook, as they make the transition into Year 7.  Year 7 is an incredibly important year, as pupils come together into our community and get to know each other and the school. 

We have a fantastic, thorough transition programme that starts from the moment your child is allocated their place in Year 6 and continues until the end of Year 7.  The transition programme focuses on pupils developing their confidence, building relationships with key colleagues in school and eventually with the peers in their tutor group. Our core themes of 'Ready, Respectful, Safe' are at the centre of everything we do.

For parents, there will be opportunities to attend 'Meet the Tutor' events and online Subject Parents' Evenings, from which you will receive information around your child’s progress and guidance on how to support them in their learning. I look forward to supporting your child on this next exciting part of their educational journey.  Good partnership and communications remain key, so please do not hesitate to contact your child's tutor using contact@springfield.uk.net to raise any questions, concerns or issues. 

We recommend you visit these areas of our website for more information about the school:
