Introduction to Connah’s Quay High School

At Connah’s Quay High School, we understand the importance of transition for our Year 6 learners and value its many benefits. Transition prepares your child for the move up to ‘big school’; alleviates any worries they (or you!) may have and allows key members of staff to begin to build positive working relationships in readiness for the next academic year.
 
Transition will undoubtedly look very different to what we are usually able to offer but nevertheless, we are determined to provide a smooth, informative and most importantly, enjoyable transition experience.
The Transition Tab has been created  to enable us to connect with your child from a remote capacity. On this tab you will find lots of useful information including a tour of the school; an opportunity to meet the Year 7 Team as well as some fun transition challenges set by key members of staff.
 
We hope you really enjoy what we have put together and please keep checking this tab for more updates over the coming weeks.   
We are looking forward to warmly welcoming you to Connah’s Quay High School in September

My Transition Experience

Hi, my name is Savannah Froggatt, I am in year 7 in Connahs Quay High School. Before I came to Connahs Quay High School I was in Ysgol Caer Nant. When I finished year 6, I was quite nervous to go to high school since I didn’t have a transition day. When it came to the first day of high school, I was really anxious because I was about to meet people I have not even met before and I did not know my way around the school. After the first week of high school, I was happy and no longer anxious anymore. 
At this moment in time, I have a lovely friendship group with people I didn’t even know before high school and my tutor group is like a second family to me. I hope you are excited to come to high school, can’t wait to meet you all. 

 

Coming into high school was a very scary thing. We had been the oldest at primary school and now we were going to be the youngest. What made it worse was that we didn’t get to finish year 6 properly or have any moving up days. But once we started it was clear that we were ready to begin our high school journey. The best thing about high school is that you get to make loads of new friends. Also, your favourite lessons at primary school are now even better as you have specialised teachers who make the experience a lot of fun while you learn. You also get your favourite lessons more frequently.
Don’t be afraid – high school is your next step and you are ready!
