Year 6/7 Transition

Ensuring students' transition smoothly from Year 6 to Year 7 is of paramount importance to us.

We are aware that Year 7 is a very important time for students and their parents. The transition from primary to secondary school is a big step and we are very committed to ensure it is as smooth as possible for all involved. A positive start to Bassingbourn Village College will help students achieve their potential and have a successful time at the school.

The Senior Leadership Team and the Achievement Leaders work closely with the mentors to build a good picture of the academic progress of each student, as well as their extra-curricular activities and wider interests. We want our students to achieve their full potential in not only the classroom but also watch them grow in confidence, learning new skills, as well as develop students who are kind and considerate of everyone within our community.

To ensure students feel settled when joining us in September, we offer Year 6 students the opportunity to have transition days with us at the end of the Summer Term. During their time with us, students meet their mentor, enjoy a raft of different subject activities and spend time making new friendships.
