Year 2 Transfer to Junior School

This is a significant time for the Trafalgar Community because we look forward to new beginnings and opportunities and prepare to say farewell to our fantastic Year 2 children! 

We carry out a range of activities throughout the year to support our Year 2 children with their transition to Greenway Junior School:

• Children visit Greenway throughout the year for different events such as the Year 3 class assembly or music performances.
• Greenway children visit us for different reasons such as supporting readers or helping on our sports days.
• The Greenway SENDCO and Year 3 teachers attend some of our staff meetings where we look at and discuss children's work and progress.
• Early in the Summer Term, we have a coffee morning for Year 2 parents, with Greenway staff attending, so parents have the opportunity to meet staff and ask questions about Year 3. Greenway Junior School also hold an evening parents meeting during the Summer Term.
• Children from Trafalgar have a visit to Greenway with their current class to have a tour, a creative activity and a playtime on their playground.
• On the West Sussex Transition Day, usually the first week in July, current Year 2 children have the chance to go to their next school for the morning to meet with their new teacher and see the school.
• We provide the children with a transition book, with photos and reminders about Greenway, to look at over the summer holidays.
