Transfer to secondary stage is in the September following the eleventh birthday. There is an active liaison programme between Nettleham C E Junior School and two local secondary schools receiving the majority of our children, to ensure curriculum continuity and ease of transfer.  Last year we transferred children to William Farr Church School, Cherry Willingham Community School, Lincoln The Priory School of Science and Technology, Yarborough High School, Market Rasen De Aston School and Lincoln Christ’s Hospital School.

We are currently involved in a pilot Transition project with William Farr School and Scothern Ellison Boulters School which explores many issues surrounding the transfer from Primary to Secondary school. Combined with our work on Sports with Cherry Willingham Comprehensive and languages with Lincoln Christ’s Hospital School, we feel that our children are well prepared for ‘moving on’ and that staff have excellent and informed relationships with other phases of education.
