Transition to Year 7

Hello, my name is Mr Yale, and I am the Transition Manager and an Assistant Headteacher at Risedale School.

I oversee the transition process for our new pupils, and I am very much looking forward to welcoming your child to the Risedale Family. We understand that the transition to secondary school can be an exciting yet nerve-wracking time for both pupils and their families, and I want to reassure you that Risedale School is committed to supporting them every step of the way.

PLEASE NOTE: If you have not yet submitted an application for your child to attend Risedale School, please visit our Admissions page.

If you have any queries, please feel free to contact our Transition Team at enquiries@risedale.org.uk or our SEND Team at send@risedale.org.uk.

Prospective parents/carers must first complete an application to North Yorkshire Council, and then, when your place has been confirmed, you will be sent a link from the Risedale Admin Team to complete our school's online Pupil Admission Form.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us for our Open Evening on Wednesday 30th September 2026. It was wonderful to see all the eager Year 5/6 pupils ready to join the Risedale Family.

If you couldn't make it, please do not worry; here's what we shared with parents/carers and pupils on the night: Open Evening Presentation 2026.
