Starting at secondary school can be both an exciting and daunting prospect for a child and their parents. We know that you and your child may have a long list of questions, worries and concerns. We hope that our Transfer programme will answer all of your questions and provide reassurance.

All staff at Thamesmead work hard to guide and support our new students so that they can cope with the demands of their new school, settle in quickly, make new friends and develop good learning habits.

We know that you will be eager for your child to settle quickly at Thamesmead, make good academic progress, and be happy at school.
