Transition to

St Anselm's

If your child will be joining St Anselm's in September, we would like to wish them and you a very warm welcome to our school; we are honoured to be part of your child's learning journey.

Starting secondary school is a momentous phase in your child's life.  It is understandably daunting, however we believe that with good planning, the process of transition can be an enjoyable one, and your child can look forward to September with confidence!

This page will be updated with a timeline, so you will know which dates will be important in the months ahead, but in the meantime, here is a link to the Kent County Council Primary to Secondary Transition web page and also video that your child may find helpful.

SUMMER SCHOOL 19th-21st August, 2026

Our Summer School will be taking place Wednesday 19th - Friday 21st August 2026 and is a great opportunity for your child to further familiarise themselves with St Anselm's.  There will be lots of fun games and activities that are suitable for all, and best of all, they will have the chance to meet some of their fellow Year 7 students before school starts in September!

Summer School will run from 10.00am - 3.00pm (an early drop off of 9.00am is also available).  The summer school is open to students who will be joining us in Year 7 September 2026 only.
