Transfer to Secondary School
On leaving Clydach Junior School pupils generally enter :-
Birchgrove Comprehensive School, Birchgrove, Swansea
Tel. No. 01792 535400
Headteacher: Mrs K. Holland
Parents have the right to request a Preferred Placement at a different Comprehensive School. Many parents choose to send their children to Cwmtawe Comprehensive School and this does not usually present a problem.
The closing date for these requests is usually the third week of March.
Meetings and opportunities for parents and children to visit the school of their choice usually take place early in the Spring term preceding your child’s admission.
When a child transfers to secondary school, copies of annual reports are sent to the school together with assessments and samples of your child’s work in the Record of Personal Achievement Folder (ROPA). In addition, the Headteacher and Y6 teachers will talk to Y7 liaison staff from the secondary school about your child’s ability, behaviour, interests and needs.
The secondary school nurse and/or Special Needs teacher also visit us to discuss pupils who may have health problems and/or special educational needs.
If you are undecided please ask for a prospectus and arrange to visit Birchgrove Comprehensive School. To visit Birchgrove's website click here.
