Transition Leaders
Dear Year 7 - we are your Transition Leaders of 2025!
We are current year 7 students that started here in September, so we were just like you last year.
We cannot wait to meet with you on Induction Day and at all the other events coming up soon and to work with you and to help you with your transition to The Compton School from primary school. We will teach you everything we have learnt since we joined here and answer all of your questions!
You will receive a transition booklet on Induction Day - we are so excited for you to read it! Please make sure you check this website page often with your parents as it will include lots of information that you will need to know about joining our school - look forward to seeing you all soon.
Check out the photos below of what we are up to at the moment in school. This will be you next year!
