Transition

Our school has various transition points; starting school in Reception or Nursery, moving from Early Years Foundation Stage to Key Stage 1 and transferring from Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 2 (in another school). The vast majority of our Year 2 children move to Year 3 at Cedars Academy. Cedars Academy take Cottesbrooke children as a priority but this transfer is not automatic, parents and carers have to fill in a transfer application online.

The information below is to support you and your child with transition.

Starting Nursery or Reception

The following presentation gives some guidance to starting at our school in both Nursery and Reception.  We hope that it gives you all the information that you need but if you have any questions, please contact the school.

Starting Year 1 or Year 2

The following presentation gives some guidance about Year 1 and Year 2 at our school.  We hope that it gives you all the information that you need but if you have any questions, please contact the school.

Year 2 to Year 3 Transition

Our oldest children are 7.  Following their time at Cottesbrooke Infant & Nursery School, most of our Year 2 children transfer to Cedars Academy to continue their education.  Cedars Academy is a separate school with a different Head Teacher and governing body, although the schools work together to ensure a good transition between the two schools.  Cedars Academy have made a video to introduce the school.  Please click here to view it.
