Moving On

Moving on to another school is a daunting experience for both children and parents. Staff make every effort to ensure that this is as smooth as possible to ensure the best possible start to their Secondary Education.

Over Hall works closely with all Secondary schools including our local secondary provider, Winsford Academy.

It is the responsibility of parents to ensure a secondary school place is applied for via the Local Authority Admissions Team. We strongly urge parents to visit the school before applying to ensure that you have a clear picture of what they offer and how they can support your child.  

Upon offer and acceptance of a place staff at Over Hall work tirelessly to ensure all the apporpriate information and details is shared with the apporpiate professional at the chosen school. There are a number of transition activities planned over the course of Year 6.
