Transition 2021

2021 was a very different year for our Primary Transition. Again, due to Covid-19 we were unable to run our normal Open Day, School Tours and Coffee mornings but as soon as the government guidelines permitted us to, we adapted our transition process to include school tours, primary visits via zoom, virtual subject workshops, Induction days and Summer school.

School Tours 

We are allowing a limited number of school tours throughout the Summer Term. To book a tour please contact Miss Stevenson via email at c.stevenson.bch@osborne.coop. 

West Ham Lower School Academy Trials (Year 5 & 6 students) 

We would like to take this opportunity to say a huge well done to everyone who came along to the West Ham Football Trials. It was amazing to see so many of you displaying such fantastic football skills and sportsmanship on the field. You should all be very proud!

You should have now received a formal letter from Mr Cronin, our West Ham Community Hub Officer, to let you know if you were successful in making it on to the programme and the plan moving forward. Our Year 6 School Academy Training sessions will be starting on Tuesday 29th June

Primary Visits

A member of the Primary team will be visiting every student in their primary school during the Summer term. If we can't do this in person we will arrange a virtual meeting instead. 

Year 6 Induction Days

Thursday 24th & Friday 25th June 2021

(POSTPONED UNTIL Monday 6th September)

Unfortunately, due to government restrictions we have had to delay our Induction day until September 2021. We will send all the need to know information regarding the arrangements direct to parents.

Summer School

(Week Commencing Monday 16th August 2021)

This year we had to hold our Summer School off school site due to the building work that is currently taking place at BCHS. (All details will be communicated with parents directly via email.)

We will be running a full programme including Monster inflatables, a Zoo Lab experience, a Drama workshop, a day at the Nuclear Races activity centre, a Cinema Experience day and a day at Clacton Beach/Pier. 

Our Summer School focuses its attention on the students wellbeing, team building skills and helping them to make friendship groups in advance of them starting with us in September.
