Year 6 transition into Year 7

Moving to a new school can be a daunting prospect, at John Spence we run a well-established transition programme for our future year 7 students, developed through strong links with our feeder primaries.

Over the coming weeks, we will add key information about starting at John Spence Community High School.  Any queries can be emailed to
