Transition Evening: for Year 6 students (and their parents/carers) joining September 2026:- Thursday 2nd July from 4.00pm-4.30pm – (Drop in Q&A event)
We invite all Year 7 parents and carers into the school so we can meet and discuss how well your child has settled. We can also let you know how they are progressing in their learning.
This is also an opportunity for you to make us aware of any potential problems, worries or concerns you or your child may have with starting at secondary school. It allows us to put some help, support or strategies in place to help your child settle into school.
We want everyone to feel happy, supported and heard in our school and this meeting allows us the chance to ensure problems are not left unaddressed when we could do something to help.
We look forward to meeting you!
If you have any questions or concerns about this process or your child’s needs including; physical, emotional or SEND when starting with us, please contact:

This day will provide your child with a first-hand experience of life at Stretford High, from 8:30 am to 2:45 pm, where they will meet their form tutors, subject teachers, and future classmates.
The day will begin at 8:30 am in the school dining room and conclude at 2:45 pm. Students will be placed in their Learning Tutor Groups and will participate in a guided tour of the school and various group activities designed to foster bonding within the year group.
Students are expected to wear their Primary School uniform and bring or wear trainers, as they will participate in PE activities. A free lunch will be provided, or students may bring their own packed lunch.
