At Heritage High School we ensure that we have close links with our Primary feeder schools and strive to ensure that many local school children have visited during their early junior school years. We also support by Heritage teaching staff regularly visiting the feeder schools where they work with the teachers on curriculum plans and take lessons with the students. Taking part in such activities marks the beginning of a smooth and nurturing transition programme.
Throughout the year Heritage also holds community events which allows younger children to visit in a social capacity which helps them to familiarise themselves with the surrounding so when they take part in formal visits from their own schools, they are less daunted by the experience.
At Heritage we have a dedicated transition team who work together every year to successfully transition our newest members into the school. It is made up of seven personal tutors: Miss Ashurst (7A), Mr Chaplin (7B), Mr Deville (7C), Miss Trevis (7D), Mr Sadiq (7E), Miss Burkinshaw (7F), Miss Moorhosue (7G), overseen by Mr Ledger, the Year Manager. The team is here to support your child through their first year at Heritage and have been working together on transition for several years. Having welcomed many of our newest members of the school they are very skilled in working closely with the primary schools, parents and their new tutees to ensure the move into secondary school life runs as smoothly as possible. Your child will be allocated to a tutor group and a house and this will be shared on the Induction Evenings
