Secondary School – Y6 Transition
Pupils from Chapmanslade School move on to a variety of secondary schools.
Pupils from Chapmanslade School move on to a variety of secondary schools.
The majority of our pupils progress to Matravers School in Westbury or Kingdown School in Warminster. However, we are well placed, with our Year 6 pupils transitioning to up to 8 different schools each year.
Secondary schools hold open days and information evenings for prospective parents and pupils. We endeavor to include dates can be found in our calendar and newsletter where possible. We work closely with all secondary schools chosen by our pupils to ensure a smooth transition, including welcoming visits from key Year 7 staff.
If you would like to discuss any aspect of your child applying for an academically selective school, either Grammar or Independent, Mr Cottrell would be very happy to meet with you. However, early visits to prospective schools are highly recommended in the first instance as such visits usually give an accurate insight into whether or not a school is right for your child. School websites give a wealth of information and are the best starting point.
Website Information
The school will be happy to provide a paper copy of any of the information on its school website free of charge. Requests for paper copies must be submitted in writing to Mrs McCall, Primary Administrator. Paper copies will be available to collect from the school office within a maximum of five working days.
Travel Plan
Taking Action on School Journeys
The school, and its governors worked on a Travel Plan for a number of years with a view to making journeys to school safer. In 2024-25, a Taking Action on School Journeys Report was published, with a subsequent consultation to parents and the local community. Following the consultation, plans have been adapted. The Travel Plan, Report and Proposals can all be found below.
The school works with the local Parish Council, who are in support of the plans.
