Starting primary school is a big milestone, and we are here to make it as smooth and positive as possible.

We have strong links with the Weald Federation of Schools, which comprises Mayfield CE Primary, Five Ashes CE Primary, Mark Cross CE Primary and Frant CE Primary. The Weald Federation 

As the local village school, many of our children continue their journey at Mayfield CE Primary however, we work closely with all schools to ensure that the  transition supports each and every child to make their next step confidently. 

Throughout the year, we share celebrations like Easter and Christmas with children at Mayfield Primary School, enjoying joint learning experiences with the Reception class. These visits help children become familiar with the school environment, meet the teachers, and feel excited about what lies ahead.

In the Summer Term, schools organise for children to attend transition sessions at their chosen primary school. These sessions allow them to meet staff and future classmates, helping everyone feel confident and prepared for September.

We also share each child’s learning journey and provide a detailed summative assessment to their future teacher, offering valuable insight into how your child learns and thrives.

By the end of the summer, our children are ready for their next adventure—confident, curious, and excited for the challenges ahead.
