Transition from Year 6
Welcome to the Transition page for Year 6 students going into Year 7. Here you will find useful information and links to everything you'll need to know about The Mandeville School before you start in September
The transition days are on Tuesday 5th and Wednesday 6th of July 2022.
There is an important evening event for parents to attend on Tuesday 5th July 2022. Further details will be shared in advance.
Introduction from Mr Barker - Year Leader for Year 7
As Head of Year 7, I wish to welcome you to our school and I hope you are excited about joining us in September 2022. I very much look forward to meeting you all.
What might be new and different?
Moving to secondary school presents a number of new challenges for students. These are to be expected but are nothing to be concerned about. You will need to:
● ask questions when you do not understand
● take responsibility for your own work
● understand the value of working hard
● stick with topics, subjects and relationships when they become tricky or difficult
● be organised. Know what you need, when you need it and where it is
● revise for assessments and exams
● complete more independent work at home and on your own
● meet deadlines for homework and projects.
This may seem a little daunting but you will be able to meet these challenges when you embrace the values of our school: Perseverance - Kindness - Integrity - Community.
And don't worry as all members of the school community will help and support you to be the best you can as you embark on your journey of learning, development and growth at Mandeville.
First, why don't you take a quick look around the school with our virtual tour!

Reporting Student Absence
If your child is absent from school for any reason, please report the absence on ClassCharts at the start of every day of absence until your child returns.
If there is an issue with the ClassCharts app, please report any absences via reception and leave a message.

(direct line)Leave of Absence
Holidays are not permitted during term time and, if taken, will be recorded as an unauthorised absence. An unauthorised absence during term time may lead to the issuing of a fixed penalty notice.
Any request for student leave of absence in term time should be made in writing to Hannah Lloyd, Assistant Headteacher – Hannah.lloyd@mandeville.school. In making this decision, the school will consider the circumstances of each application individually, including any previous pattern of leave in term time and the attendance record to date.
