Student Admissions
Students Joining us in Year 7
We are delighted that you are considering our school community as the next step for your child’s education. At The Bromfords School, the progress and well-being of our students is the fundamental focus of each and every day. We are very proud of our school and work hard to ensure we create a warm, inclusive atmosphere, where every child can be the best version of themselves.
Transitioning to secondary school is a significant milestone for students and their parents/carers, and providing support during this time can help ease the process and promote a positive experience.
Aspects of our support include:
- Visits by our staff to your child’s primary school in the Spring Term of Year 6.
- Individual tours of Bromfords for anxious students and their parents/carers.
- Two transition days in June
- An induction day in September before the rest of the school returns from the summer break.
- An opportunity to meet your child’s new form tutor in October of Year 7.
- Bromfords Buddies where we pair incoming students with older students who can provide guidance and answer questions.
If your child is in Year 6, you can apply for a secondary school (Year 7) place between 13 September 2024 and 31 October 2024.
