Transition to our Middle School
Transitioning from Junior School (Reception to Year 6) to Middle School (Year 7 and Year 8) at Westbourne can feel like a significant milestone, and we are committed to ensuring this transition is as seamless as possible.
A key advantage at Westbourne is that children will already be familiar with the majority of Middle School teachers, fostering a sense of security and confidence as they embark on this new phase.
We prioritise a cohesive educational journey, with close collaboration between Junior and Middle School staff.
This collaboration ensures a natural progression in learning, building upon the foundations established in Junior School and preparing pupils for the academic rigours of Middle School. Teachers from both levels work together to create a connected curriculum, emphasising the key skills and knowledge required for success. This collaborative approach also facilitates personalised learning, enabling teachers to understand and support each pupil's individual needs.
Beyond the academic curriculum, we place a strong emphasis on the social and emotional well-being of our pupils. Opportunities for interaction with Middle School pupils and teachers are provided before the transition, fostering friendships and easing any anxieties. We also offer workshops and information sessions for both pupils and parents. Our overarching aim is to cultivate a supportive and nurturing environment where pupils feel connected, empowered, and excited to embrace the next stage of their education at Westbourne.
