Year 11-12 transition

Year 11- 12 Transition Support 

We work hard at involving students in the life of the College. Student leadership, involvement, and ownership are major contributors to achievement and progress and are evident in many ways. We try and keep it central to everything that we do.

Starting Post 16 is a big step for both students and their parents, so at Kingsthorpe College we work very hard to make this transfer as smooth as possible. To help with the transfer process, we hold an annual Post 16 Open Evening in November for prospective parents and students to see us in action.

We also have a number of activities throughout the year which Year 11 students attend so that they get more familiar with their new surroundings, subjects, and staff. In July, once the summer exam season is complete, we have Post 16 Transition days. These days are dedicated to enabling the Post 16 team to meet our new students and their teachers to discuss the weeks and months ahead and to make sure that we have all the information we need about individuals' progress, personal development, and any special needs.

Soon after students have started at Kingsthorpe College, we arrange a meeting for parents and carers to meet with tutors to discuss how the young person has settled in and to make sure that there is an opportunity to share anything with us before the first half term is over. In addition we offer comprehensive tutor sessions and assemblies to develop key study skills.
