Year 6/7 Transition

We know that the transfer from Year 6 to Year 7 can be as daunting for parents as it is for students and the purpose of this information pack is to help smooth the transition to Rugeley John Taylor School for you and your child. Our aim is to give you an insight into the daily life of the school and reassure you that by working together we can ensure an effective and happy transition. We place a very high value on our relationships with parents, and we look forward to
welcoming you and your child into our school community and working with you to ensure their success in the years ahead.
