Transition Information
We know that the opportunity to visit the school, meet Form Tutors, have parental information evenings and ensure key information is shared, is part of the process that helps parents, pupils and staff feel prepared for September. We will keep updating this transition page with key information to help parents and pupils feel more informed about Blessed Robert Sutton. We will also send out emails to parents using the address on their admissions form, if this changes please use the transition email below to update us.

Transition Day – Wednesday 1st July
We are delighted to invite our new Year 7s to our Transition Day on Wednesday 1st July, beginning at 8.25am and finishing at 2.30pm.
During the Transition Day we aim to offer your child a ‘taste’ of Secondary school lessons and activities and give them the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the school buildings and our routines (lesson bells, changes of room etc.). Pupils should wear their current school uniform and will also need to bring trainers for a PE lesson or use on the Astro at lunchtime.
Please complete the form below to let us know if your child is able to make the transition day on Wednesday 1st July. This includes sections to provide information on dietary requirements, medical needs and onward travel at the end of the day.

Please ensure you have signed up on this form by Wednesday 24th June to support the planning of the transition day.
Break and Lunch
We will be providing pupils with a school lunch, but they are welcome to bring their own packed lunches if they wish to. Please indicate any dietary requirements on the online form above. We also advise that pupils bring their own snack and drink for break, as they will not be able to purchase from our canteen on this day.
Drop Off and Pick Up
There is no on-site parking for Parents/Carers; with this in mind, please do not drive onto the school site to drop off pupils on the Transition Day. We would advise all Parents/Carers to park away from the school and walk down to the school site. Pupils can then be dropped off at Reception. Please be aware that Parents/Carers will not be able to enter the school building at drop off. We will invite you into school for collection at 2.30pm. If your child is walking home with a sibling or being picked up by another Parent/Carer or if your child has any medical needs, please indicate this on the sign-up form at the link above or via the QR.
If you have any questions please feel free to get in touch via the following email transition@brs.srscmat.co.uk.
