Yr 6 transition

Congratulations on being offered a place at Elthorne Park High School. This year we received almost 1000 applications for 240 places in Year 7 and we are delighted that your application has been successful. We look forward to welcoming you to our wonderful school community and I am very excited about meeting you, your parents or carers and all of our other new Year 7s over the next few months.  

I know that you may be experiencing different emotions at the moment; hopefully you’ll be excited about joining Elthorne Park High School but you may also be feeling nervous about leaving behind your primary school and teachers. I would say that nearly all of our new Year 7s feel like this at times and we will do everything we can to help you settle into life at Elthorne.  

We have been planning an exciting programme of transition activities that will help you to get ready for starting secondary school in September. We are currently visiting your primary school and speaking to your Year 6 teachers to learn more about you and your learning. As part of our transition programme, there are three key dates that we want to remind you of:

During the week beginning Monday 9th June, we will be inviting you and your parents in for a transition meeting.

On Monday 23rd June we will invite parents to come to our year 6 Welcome Evening running from 5:30 - 6:30pm. Children will not be invited to this event as they will be having assemblies at primary school in that week.

Friday 27th June is the Ealing Induction Day and all Year 6 students will be invited to spend the day at Elthorne Park High School following a timetable and trialling Year 7 lessons. The day will start at 8:45am with a meet and greet in the school hall and students will be dismissed at 3pm.

Uniform - You can order uniform at any time from now onwards and whilst there is no urgency to do this immediately, orders should be placed by the middle of June to ensure you have received all items in time for a September start. We are very happy to be partnering with Juniper Uniform based in West Ealing and School Bells who are based in Hounslow. Uniform will be available to buy online or in person at their stores. The uniform policy can be viewed on the school website.

We have also included a guide to Parent Pay below, you will receive your login details after your individual transition meetings. Please send any general transition queries to admissions@ephs.ealing.sch.uk. We can’t wait to meet all of our new students and parents and look forward to seeing you over the next few weeks. ​
