Transition September 2025
Transition Information Booklet
Moving from primary to secondary school can be a daunting prospect for Year 6 pupils. To help reduce the anxiety and maintain the achievements of primary school. The programme begins before Year 6 with our staff working closely with our partner primary schools on a range of activities designed to help students get to know us better.

New Year 7 Transition Day: Date TBC - Gable Hall's proud tradition of Year 6 Transition days now condenses into a single day, ensuring students feel prepared for their September start.
