Year 6 to Year 7 Transition
Moving Up to Ryedale Information 2022
Each year, we are pleased to be able to accommodate a high number of families who make the positive choice to send their children to Ryedale School from outside of our catchment area. We are confident we will be able to offer places to all current Year 6s who would like a place in our school from September 2022. Please contact Mrs Celia Tubbs via email: execpa@ryedalelearningtrust.co.uk for details on how to secure a place.
We are very much hoping to be able to conduct our transition programme on our school site this year. Our comprehensive programme of induction activities will enable our new Year 7 cohort for September 2022 to experience life at Ryedale School, gain confidence with the move to secondary school and make new friends.
Planned programme of events:
Primary Presentation Evenings:
These evenings are the first step in the transition process and involve the Senior Leadership Team of Ryedale School presenting on ‘Moving up to Ryedale’ in six of our feeder primaries. We cover everything from student learning to uniform to extra-curricular opportunities and at the end of the presentations there is opportunity to chat to the staff over coffee and biscuits.
Each presentation begins at 6.30pm and is approximately one hour in duration taking place in late September/early October; dates at the venues below will be confirmed nearer the time.
St Hilda’s C of E VC School, Ampleforth
Helmsley CP School
Sinnington CP School
Kirkbymoorside CP School
Nawton CP School
Gillamoor C of E VC School
We welcome families living out of catchment to attend any of the above evenings. Once dates are published, we ask that parents/carers please select the most convenient date and venue to yourselves and inform Ms Wilkinson’s PA, via email to book your place: execpa@ryedalelearningtrust.co.uk
Following the Presentation Evenings, parents must register their preference of secondary school with NYCC. The deadline for applications is the 31st October and it is essential that all families meet this deadline. Parents are informed of the allocation list at the beginning of March via a letter from North Yorkshire County Council.
Year 6 Literacy Week
Once we have our confirmed cohort for September, we write to all parents in early May with final arrangements for the forthcoming events. All of our students receive an invitation to a Literacy Day which takes place during May.
On this day our students are given the opportunity to take part in a range of literacy based activities. In addition to meeting key staff, staying for lunch in the school canteen and meeting Year 6 students from other primaries, the Year 6’s get to take out their first reading book from our school library!
