Getting Ready for Year 7 at CHS!

Starting Year 7 at Chorlton High School is an exciting new journey!

Our transition program is designed as your child's launchpad, helping every student feel supported, enthusiastic, and ready for a successful, happy, and creative time with us.

We know moving to high school is a big step. Our dedicated Transition Team partners closely with your child's primary school teachers during Key Stage 2, running inspiring and engaging activities to ensure their start is smooth and happy.

A Smooth Start

Here's how we help students transition and keep parents informed:

Summer Primary Visits: Our team and current Year 7s visit primary schools, offering incoming students a chance to connect and ask questions.

July Induction Day: A key day for new students to discover CHS, meet teachers, experience lessons, and build friendships.

Communication: We keep parents and carers informed with regular email updates during the transition period.

Supporting Your Child's Transition to CHS:

Here's a look at some key events designed to help support your child's smooth transition to Year 7 at Chorlton High School:

Our friendly Year 7 'Buddies' will visit primary schools to offer a welcoming student perspective on Chorlton High life. They'll be friendly faces ready to help new students feel welcome and settle in when they arrive.

This special day is primarily for students joining from primary schools where only a few children are coming to Chorlton High, giving them a great chance to make friends early. They will learn together and explore this year's 'Read Manchester' Transition book. (This event is invite-only; we will contact you directly if your child is invited).
