Transition
We usually hold an Open Evening and School Tours during this term for children in year 6 and parents and carers. Sadly this has had to be cancelled this year due to the pandemic. Instead, we have filmed a few short videos, see links below, that should give children in Year 6 and parents and carers an insight into what it is like at Gladesmore Community School.
Whilst we know there is nothing quite like having a live tour around the school and meeting our wonderful children and staff in person, our videos show what the school is like and features children and staff speaking about the school. We hope that parents, carers and children currently in Year 6 will find it enjoyable and give a feeling of the school.
Please rest assured that any children that do transfer to Gladesmore in September 2021 will have the opportunity to spend time with us and participate in an extensive induction programme, including a summer school, so they will be well prepared for the transfer. A very exciting time and a warm welcome awaits them.
Whilst moving to secondary school is an exciting step for young people, we recognise that it can also be a stressful and worrying time for both parents and children. This section of the website also provides some information which we hope will to help make the process smooth and successful.
The application for secondary school places in Haringey schools is all managed on line. The deadline for preferences is the 31st October 2020. Details can be obtained from the Admissions section of the Haringey Council website.
If you have specific questions regarding transition, or if you would like to speak with someone at the School please contact us on: gcstransfer2020@gladesmore.com and we will be happy to help.
