Welcome to our Year 6 Transition Page
Congratulations to all that have received an offer of a place at Chertsey High School! We are thoroughly looking forward to meeting our new Year 7 students soon. In the meantime, there are a range of links and resources below for students and families to inform you about your new school. Please keep checking back to this page as we will update it between now and your child's first day with more information regarding the transition.
We are in the process of updating our Year 6 Transition Handbook, please watch a short film about our school, and keep up to date with all the correspondence we send out in relation to our transition programme. There is also an interactive map which takes you inside our school building and allows you to see what our facilities are like.
At any point during the transition process, if you would like further help or advice, please do not hesitate to contact our Year 7 Pastoral Team.

Parent Information Evenings:
Chertsey High School Year 6 Parent Information Evening: Tuesday 1st July 2025
After the first transition day, we are expecting there will be lots of questions or concerns that may not have been answered during the day. We also know that this is the last chance for many of us to be in contact before the summer holidays themselves. The purpose of this meeting is to have the opportunity to meet your child's tutor, Head of Year and understand more about the ethos and opportunities for the year.
Starting secondary school is a major milestone in children’s lives, and although that may be a daunting prospect, please take comfort in the fact that they are not alone on your journey. The purpose of this meeting is to introduce you to our Headteacher and some of our Senior Leadership Team, to outline the ethos of the school and to give you an introduction to the transition days that will take place later in the year. If you are unable to attend or would like to refer back to any of the information, the slides will be published in due course.
