Year 6 Transition
FCC welcomes our new Year 7 students
It is always a great pleasure to welcome our new intake of students and their parents to FCC. We are delighted that you have chosen our school for the next stage of your education. We know that you will be very happy here, and we look forward to meeting you all very soon.
Transition arrangements for new Year 7 students are communicated to all students and parents via the email address submitted during the application process and to all feeder primary schools. All information needed for a smooth transition to secondary school will be added to this page.
Should you have any queries, you can contact the Transition Team directly.
We look forward to meeting you all and helping you to settle in.
