Junior to Senior

Many King’s Junior School pupils will progress at eleven-plus into our Senior School, and we make this transition as smooth and seamless as possible. 

Throughout their time in Junior School children are given the opportunity to become familiar with our Senior School. Pupils often have lessons or activities in the Senior School science labs, design and technology workshops, Wardle House our dedicated art department, in the music school, and on the sports fields and all weather pitch at Archdeacon..

Consequently, when pupils make the transition into the First Form, they feel comfortable and look forward to ‘moving up’ with the firm friends they have made in Junior School, along with the pupils that join King’s from many other schools. Being able to settle-in quickly and easily is particularly important at this sensitive point in children’s lives and the pastoral system at King’s closely monitors how our children are settling in to their new surroundings.
