We understand the need to build on students’ prior learning and
experience at primary school.
Our Primary to Secondary Transition Programme
includes visits
from our transition team to primary schools so that we can
meet our new Year 6 students and talk to their teachers about
each child’s strengths and learning requirements before they
join us. Our extensive Transition Programme however includes a
wide range of opportunities for primary students to take part in
workshops and themed days here at KEVICC and to work with
our teachers in their current primary schools. This helps build
relationships and familiarity and aims to ensure students join
us already knowing KEVICC and our staff.
Induction day
in July is a further opportunity to become
familiar with our extensive site and is popular with Year 6
students. It is an important opportunity to meet other Year 6
students who will also be starting KEVICC in September.

“When I came I had a warm welcome from lots
of the older children. I saw lots of people I knew
and my new tutor welcomed us into the
classroom.
The teachers are really nice and supportive. On
my first day I was very stressed and worried but
when I got there I realised there was nothing to
worry about. Now I love it here and I have made
lots of new friends. Your first day will be great
. . . no need to worry.”
