Year 6 into Year 7 Transition Information

Transition Programme 2024

Welcome to Ifield Community College. We are delighted that you are joining ICC, and in order to help you and your child prepare for transition to secondary school, we want to do everything we can to make this a happy and smooth process. 

Tuesday 2nd July - 9am - 2:30pm

Year 6 students will come to ICC for sample lessons to get a feel of secondary school life. They should come in their primary school uniform and wear trainers. Lunch is provided; however, we ask that you supply your child with a light snack and a drink for break time (crisps, sugary snacks or fizzy drinks are not permitted). We also recommend that your child has a refillable water bottle that they can refill during break and lunchtime.

We will be dismissing students at 2.30pm from our site and students will be able to leave freely, or you can make arrangements with your child to meet them at the front of the school. Please be mindful that before 8:30am and from 2:30pm onwards the road into school and parking will become very congested, therefore, it is advisable to drop off and collect your child promptly. 

Wednesday 3rd July - Transition Evening 4-6pm 

This is an evening for you and your child to find out about key information, with Headteacher presentations at 4:15pm, 4:45pm and 5:15pm in the hall. On arrival, you will be asked for the completed admission forms (if you have not already completed the forms online or on paper). Our on-line uniform supplier will be available to assist with your ordering requirements.  

Meet the Progress Mentor, Thursday 4th July, 1-6pm 

 

School tie colour for Sept 24 will be  Purple.

Please can we bring to your attention that students are not to attend school with any ear, facial or body piercings, they are considered a Health and Safety risk. If a student comes into school wearing any piercing item, the student will be asked to remove it, regardless of when the piercing was done.

School Bags and Other Equipment

Parents/Carers will appreciate that text books are costly, so it is important that each student should be equipped with a large strong bag. You are asked to ensure that it is not over-sized but large enough to take a fair number of books and A4 ring binders without bending or distortion.

Backpacks and messenger bags are our preferred style.

Students are required to have pencil case to carry their equipment. This should contain a minimum of a black and a green pen, pencil, ruler, eraser and a protractor. Students can use their own coloured pencils and felt tips. Black pens are required for all written work and examinations. (A clear pencil case is required for mock and external exams only).

It is essential students have a scientific calculator for their lessons. Aurora AX-595TV is the brand we use in school.

Students can purchase pencil cases containing equipment and scientific calculators from our Reprographics Department at a lower price than high street prices.
