High school part 6

Now let's move on to talk about the national offer Day on what

happens when you find out which go your child has been offered.

National Offer Day

is in March,

and it's the day when all Children in England are advised the school place that they

as a parent, you must expect or declined the school place,

either through the e admissions portal.

If you applied online, all by completing the Web form link in the outcome email.

If you're writing a paper form.

If your offer isn't for any of your preferred schools,

your counsel can offer you a place yet another school

where it's possible

this school will be the nearest school show home. Address

the house places remaining

If there are no places remaining near you or your child or you

don't wish them to go to that school that has been offered,

there will be considered as unplayed aced

on the council and us will conduct contact you to discussion options.

Do talk to us if this situation arises for you because whilst it isn't very common,

we are here to help you resolve it.

Any school places that may have become vacancies theory.

Jinnah law office were made, our then offered.

Once everybody has accepted or declined places by the deadline,

this means that if you didn't get offered your first choice,

but you remain on the waiting list,

you may well be offered that first choice after

everybody's decided which school they want to accept,

as usually a bit of shuffling and shakedown.

So the final school that your charity offer it is not what you're hoping for.

There is still

some flexibility, and it is worth remembering that.

So what happens if you don't get the place you want and you want to appeal?

You do as a parent, have the legal right to appeal against the decision

that's been made to not offer your child place

that any of the schools that you've applied for,

even if they were of replaces another school.

So, for example, if you weren't offered your first choice,

but you were offered your second

and you still really want the first choice,

then you can appeal

in your email that tells you of the place you've been offered.

There will be information on your right to appeal,

and you'll need to contact the school directly to

find out how to submit your appeal to them.

Do you bear in mind that when considering an appeal,

you have to think very carefully about whether your reasons

for wanting your child to attend the school are exceptional,

so you cannot be purely because they really wanted?

It has to be something completely out of the ordinary

on If you have any questions around that,

you can always talk to us about whether

we think it would be a successful application.

So primary schools are the start of the child's education

from the moment they arrived with us

in the nursery right through two years. Six.

We're preparing them for the next stage.

Whether that's the next year group

key stage or moving on to high school,

there's often a rumour with primary schools that we

don't prepare for any sort of tests or selective schools

on the truth. Is that a primary schools? We want to give our Children

the best well rounded education we can

to give them the best options and choices in life.

All the Children that we teach are different,

and therefore different schools will suit them

and you know your child better than we do,

so you will know which kind of environment they will thrive in.

But we do have a lot of approaches throughout school

that helps to build this choice for your child

throughout your child's time.

This we teach a mastery approach to the core subjects,

and these are the subjects that will come up in the key stage three curriculum.

So when they are moving on to high school, they have a really sound grounding

in these core subjects.

High schools, as we've seen,

do require Children today a lot more

independent and resilient than primary schools.

There's an awful lot of transition and changing,

whether that's the different rooms, two different teachers.

So as Children goes through key Stage two Green Lane

on, especially in tier five and six,

we continue our work to develop these skills to give them confidence.

We talked to them a lot about high school. We have ex pupils come to talk to them,

and we do a lot of different workshops.

Where Children can air anywhere is that they may

have or any things that are on their mind.

We love hearing how well Children from green aid of adjusted

on do we often invite our high school pupils back to tell us what it's like

about six or so weeks after they started their new schools?

We have a number of ex pupils. You come back to volunteer here

to teach here

because actually being cast of the community

doesn't end when you leave Green Lane.

If you're worried about how your child my transition to high school,

then please do speak to their your class teacher

or remember the leadership team

on, we will really support you in that

we always meet with the teachers on the

year group leaders from the secondary schools,

and they will come in and meet your child in school as well.

Your child's class teacher will talk to their form tutor or their head of year

about how your child is getting on.

And if there are any particular ways in which we could help them settle in more

so your child has a place in secondary school,

and now you're wondering what happens next. How do we prepared in the home?

But there are lots of ways in which that country schools liaise with primaries.

It's likely that your child will be invited for induction day,

either in the summer term or the school holidays.

And sometimes they'll be workshops and activities running throughout the summer

to help your child feel confident in that new environment.

If that isn't available

or perhaps your child can't attend that,

then it is very common

for year sevens to start the school before the rest of the year groups.

This means that they are only surrounded by people of a similar age

on the much smaller group,

so they confined their bearings on their way around a space.

And it is usual for secondary schools to have this staggered start

so they can get to know exactly what's going on in a much less pressured environment,

a big changes that pupils will need to learn to

move swiftly between classrooms to get their next lessons.

And this is something that pupils often say they worry about

how schools the world compared for this

on your child will very quickly feel like they've never been anywhere else.

When they come to visit us a green lane,

they usually tell us how tiny it fuels compared to where they are now.

So as we draw to a close. I would like to really take the opportunity

to thank you for giving your time up to find out a little bit more about high schools.

And of course,

you can re watch this video back. If there's anything that you aren't sure about,

it's really important that you ask as anything that you need to know

that we support your child because their

education doesn't end when they will count.

Agree name.

Thank you for your time and attention,

and we very much look forward to supporting you and your child

in this exciting journey onwards.

So as we draw this presentation to a close,

I would like to take the time to thank you

for your attention on for investing the time

in finding out about the transition to high school.

Hopefully,

you now feel more confident on have fewer questions

about how the system in the process is work.

But if there are things you're still not sure about, don't hesitate to get in touch.

We are here to support you

because the child's education

doesn't end when they walk out the door of Green Lane primary school.

Thank you
