Transition

Transition from Year 6 to Year 7

LLu Hello, my name is Mrs Lumsdon, and I am the Transition Manager and a Senior Teacher 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.
