Moving to Key Stage 2

When your child is in Year 2, you must apply for a place at a Junior School or a local Primary School for entry into Year 3.

All admissions are managed by Telford & Wrekin Council Admissions Team.

Transition to Junior School

We have a strong transition programme with Wrockwardine Wood Church of England Junior School to ensure that the move from Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 2 is as smooth and supportive as possible.


What the Transition Looks Like

  • Autumn Term: Year 2 and Year 3 pupils meet for shared sports events, which continue through the year, helping children become familiar with their new setting.

  • Summer Term:

    • Once Junior School places have been confirmed, children attend multiple induction visits at different times of the day to experience the daily routine of their new school.

    • Additional visits are arranged where needed for children with SEND.

  • Staff Collaboration:

    • Regular transition meetings between Headteachers, SENDCos, Pastoral Leads, and Year 2/3 teachers ensure that all important information is shared.

    • These meetings help ensure that learning is not disrupted during the move to Year 3.

  • Teacher Introductions:

    • Year 3 teachers visit the Year 2 classes to begin building relationships and understanding children’s learning styles and friendship groups.

    • The Junior School SENDCo also meets with identified children and communicates directly with families.


Communication with Parents

Once your child’s school place is confirmed:

  • Parents receive regular updates from the Junior School.

  • You will be invited to information events and workshops to support the transition process.
