Year 7 Transition

Here at Wootton Park School we understand that the transition from primary to secondary school can be daunting for parents and learners alike, but we work hard to provide a positive experience for everyone involved. The purpose of this section of our website is to provide information for year 6 learners who have been allocated a place in year 7 at Wootton Park School starting in September 2022.

Transition Day

The purpose of the transition day is to give learners the opportunity to experience what life at Wootton Park School is like. This year, we would like to invite all of our new year 7 cohort to join us on Monday 4^th July. They will spend the day taking part in a range of activities designed to introduce them to life in year 7. They will also meet staff, become familiar with the school environment and start to build friendships.

School Building

We are extremely lucky to be based in a brand new school building, which only opened in September 2020. Click on the link below to access our virtual tour. It allows you to explore our state of the art building in the same way as if you were walking the corridors yourself.
