Transition

Every September children will join their fellow classmates in their new class, with their new teacher and get used to the new routines and expectations in their next stage of learning. At Ryders Hayes we start this journey before the Summer break, with a week long transition into new classes in July and a Parent Induction Evening. As a result, upon returning after 6 weeks, children and their parents are already familiar with all the changes and do not worry over the holidays about the unknown.

During the week in their new class children and their new teacher getting to know each other in preparation for the next academic year. Throughout the week children share their learning styles, interests, aspirations, personal targets and discuss the changes that lie ahead of them.

Transition Week is a very important time as it helps everyone to get ready, both mentally and practically, and feel prepared for our return in September. At the beginning of the week parents have the opportunity to attend an Induction Evening where they are able to find out what the following academic year entails for their child and meet the team.
