2020 Transitioning between Learning Teams

At the end of every year, a large number of our students move into new classes in new Learning Teams. Some students and their parents find this to be an uncertain and anxious time.

Last year we implemented a new way of supporting our students as they transitioned between Learning Teams. Because the feedback we had from parents and students was overwhelmingly positive, we will continue with the same process this year.

Look out for more detail next term, but in the meantime, so that you can keep these dates free, a brief outline of the process is as follows:

· Week 7 (Friday 27 November) – new class lists done and posted home

· Week 8 (Thursday December 3) – An afternoon when students can spend time in the classroom with their new teacher and students who are not transitioning

· Evening of the same day (Thursday December 3) - a parent ‘meet the teacher’ evening, which will include an overview of what happens in the new Learning Team and an opportunity to speak to the new teacher

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at school
