High School Transition Information
Moving from primary school to secondary school is an exciting time of life, but for many children it can also be a daunting prospect.
A new, much bigger school can offer greater independence and a world of opportunity. However, it also means new teachers, new subjects and potentially a whole new set of friends.
We are here to help you and your child to make their transition to high school as smooth as possible. So please don't hesitate to seek help and advice from any member of staff at OLSB.
YoungMinds and BBC Bitesize alongside many other online websites have lots of useful information to help ensure your child has a smooth transition to high school.

Our feeder school is 
St Bede's and St Joseph's Catholic College
"..providing students with a thorough training in the knowledge and principles of the Catholic faith, combined with a secular education equal in every respect to the best public schools in England."
By cultivating positive and productive relationships throughout the College we aim to ignite within all members of our College community a love of learning, a love of each other and a love of God.
We illuminate the educational journey of all our students by understanding that it is the totality of a child’s experience at College and exposure to a wide range of opportunities both inside the classroom and beyond that will help to broaden horizons and ensure the full formation of each individual.
In encouraging students to form their characters through the pursuit of personal strengths we call virtues we hope to form happy, confident, spiritually awake, life-long learners whose academic, sporting and artistic talents are encouraged to shine. (SBSJ)
