Transition | Kepier School

We would like to extend a very warm welcome to all prospective parents / carers and their children. Throughout the course of the year we will be working with all of our feeder primary schools and your children to share my experiences of life at Kepier. We would like to take the opportunity to meet you and will be attending events at primaries throughout the year.

We understand that choosing your child’s school can be a very difficult decision and that’s why staff at Kepier believe that everyday should be an Open Day. If you would like to see our school in action, to book an appointment please contact our main reception.

Kepier’s On-Site Y5/6 Open Evening this year will take place on Wednesday 20th September 2023 from 3.30 – 6pm.

Learners will be invited to attend Kepier throughout the course of the year to specific events in liaison with your child’s primary school. Following National Offer Day (1st March 2024), Kepier’s Transition Programme will include the following.

Telephone conversations with parents and carers.
Virtual Parents’ Evening Presentation .
Parent and Learner visits during the school day.
On-Site Transition Events for learners.
Key staff will visit your child’s primary school.
Transition meeting with primary school staff to share any relevant information which will support your child’s transition from primary to secondary school.
Onsite Parents’ Evenings in June / July 2024.
