Secondary School Information – Oaklands Junior School

Transfer to Secondary School

The majority of children leaving Oaklands Junior School transfer to Edgbarrow School as most live in the area traditionally served by this school. However, some transfer to other state and independent schools. Please be aware that not all Year 6 children are eligible to go to Edgbarrow – please check admission criteria and have an alternative secondary school as a back-up.

Information regarding transfer to secondary schools is sent out by the Local Authority in the Autumn term of a child’s last year in junior school. It is always helpful if parents/carers discuss with the staff any special arrangements they may have in mind for secondary schooling as early as possible. Please note that it is the parent/carer’s responsibility to seek information about transfer arrangements to schools in the independent sector.

We would also advise that you visit more than one secondary school to be able to make comparisons/help decide the best option.
