Secondary Transfer Information

Y6 Secondary Transfer 2025-26

If your child is currently in our Year 6 you need to make an application for Secondary School in September 2026.

This application must be made online by 31st October 2025.

We recognise that this sometimes a period of worry for many parents and children – Following our Parents Meeting please find the presentations on how to make your application in the presentations below.

To assist you with your application, please find links to the Secondary School brochures for Lewisham, Greenwich and Southwark – as our school sits on the edge of all 3 boroughs you may wish to consider a secondary school in any (or all) these boroughs. There is also an instruction leaflet on how to make your application online.

You will be able to express up to 6 preferences across a number of LA’s on a common form which can be accessed online. Each admission authority will consider applications separately. Your child will be considered under the admissions criteria published by each school or LA. The sharing of information through a central computer system will ensure that only the highest preference school available is offered. Offers will be made on 2nd March 2026.

At our Parents’ meeting we also shared details of what we will be teaching in Year 6 and how you can help your child. A copy of the topic map can be accessed by clicking the link below.
