Year 6 Transition
Welcome Year 6!
Welcome to all year 6 families and thank you for your interest in St Peter's CofE Academy. We want to make the transition from Primary to Secondary School as easy as possible for both students and parents/carers.
Who's who?
Mr J Simpson, Head of Year
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself as the new Head of Year 7, for next year’s cohort. As a member of the St Peter’s Family, I am very excited to be given the opportunity to work with such a key year group, about whom I know and have heard great things.
To give you some brief information about myself, I have worked in schools for 28 years and have undertaken roles including Head of Design and a member of the Senior Leadership Team. Having worked on both the academic and pastoral sides of education, I am looking forward to combining these as Head of Year 7.
The year ahead will be probably the most important of your child’s academic career so far, and I see my role as supporting them at this crucial time to achieve their very best, in close collaboration with their ROCK tutors, teaching staff and with you as parents/carers.
If I can be of any assistance please don’t hesitate to contact me. I assure you of my full commitment to ensure the best outcomes of your child.
