Year 6 pupils in our Junior School are automatically allocated a place in Year 7 at Clifton High School without going through an additional admissions application. This seamless process ensures a smooth transition for families within our community.
All pupils who have confirmed their places in Year 7 will also be invited to a Transition Day we call The Six Mix, where pupils will meet one another, play some team building games and spend some time with their new Head of Year.
Miss Rebekah Gray - Admissions Manager
As part of the transition process, families will have the opportunity to individually meet our Head, Mr Will Phelan, in the Autumn Term to discuss their child’s individual interests and experiences ahead of moving into the Senior School. Children in Year 6 will also have the opportunity to have a Year 7 Experience Day in the Autumn Term, where they can have a taster of some senior lessons and learn more about what to expect in the Senior School.
Current Year 6 pupils are not required to sit an assessment between Year 6 and Year 7. However, parents can nominate their children to sit assessments in English and Mathematics if they wish to be considered for an Academic Scholarship. These exams will be sat on a Saturday in January, and further details will be provided by the admissions department at the start of Year 6.
Current Year 6 pupils will also have the opportunity to apply for Sports, Music and Individual Brilliance Scholarships, and will go through a similar process to prospective pupils for their assessments.
Parents of pupils in Year 6 are asked to confirm their place in Year 7 in January. Results of scholarship assessments will be shared at this time.
