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.

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.
