Transitioning to Secondary School Horizon
For any child’s education, transitioning from primary to secondary school is an important milestone. At Grainville, we offer a unique and successful transition plan via ’Horizon.’ This school within a school offers a nurturing, supportive and well planned transition where students spend time in tutor groups and learning core subjects in one area of the school allocated specifically to Year 7. The passionate and dynamic small team of teachers and Head of Year teach across English, humanities and mathematics allowing a smooth and effective transition from primary into Year 7, fully preparing students for life in Year 8.
Year 7 students study other subjects such as science, art, music, design, ICT, French, PE, PSE and in the larger school base with specialist equipment and resources.
In Year 7 we offer a range of trips and visits, alongside house events and fundraising.
