Transition
We know that starting secondary school can be both an exciting but uncertain time for you and we want to do what we can to help you through the move from primary to secondary school. There’s no reason to be worried or scared; we know that these are perfectly normal feelings that everyone gets before you move you your new school.
We have a wonderful pastoral system, which allows us to get to know and support you very well, and our pastoral staff are on hand to help and guide you through your daily life here at Saint Paul’s. We pride ourselves – both staff and students – in the friendly and polite atmosphere that we all help create, our smart appearance and the good relationships that we have developed with each other and in the community.
The following staff are here for you during this transition period and beyond.

Year 6 Transition Day
Year 6 pupils and their families will be invited to our Transition Day at Saint Paul’s in July 2026. This will be an opportunity for those pupils who are joining us in September 2026 to meet each other and the Saint Paul’s staff and experience life at Saint Paul’s.
They will experience a range of lessons and activities and work throughout the day in their new form. They will be able to meet new friends from other schools and experience an ordinary school day so that they are more prepared for September.
