Year 6 Transition
Welcome to our Year 6 Transition page, where you can access resources and information about the transition from primary to secondary school. We recognise that the move from primary school to secondary school is a big one – often for parents and carers as much as for the students! Our extensive transition programme allows us to make the process a positive and exciting experience for our students. Trinity Academy St Edward’s began with one Year 7 cohort, so is uniquely placed to ensure a nurturing and supportive transition for every individual that joins us. We will do all we can to allow Year 6 students to gain a real insight into being a Trinity Academy St Edward’s student. Our positive links with primary schools in the local area and beyond, will allow us to create a seamless transition for your child ensuring that students entering Year 7 settle in quickly and with ease.
Year 6 Transition Checklist
To help you prepare for your transition from primary to secondary school, we’ve put together a checklist of key things to consider during your first week at our academy. Check them off and get excited... it won’t be long before you’re settled in!

Quantum Leap Jotter - Year 7
To help our newest members embody the TASE core values, students will each be given a Quantum Leap Jotter that lists 24 steps for them to complete. We'll hold a ceremony at the end of Year 7 where students will be awarded gold, silver or bronze depending on the number of activities completed. We can't wait to see our students ticking off these steps and achieving great things!

Rob Marsh
Executive Principal
My name is Rob Marsh and I am the Executive Principal for our new school. It’s amazing to think we will soon be able to meet you.
This project is special to me because I have been involved since it was just an idea and wrote the application to the government to gain funding to make this happen. I was also invited to 10 Downing Street to meet the Prime Minister and receive the official letter that said we had been successful.
